According to the Russian TV today (RT) website on the 17th, a poll conducted by YouGov showed that most British people now believe that "Brexit" is a wrong decision. According to the survey, about one-fifth of the British who supported Brexit in the 2016 referendum no longer supports it.

This poll conducted from November 9 to 10 and released on Thursday found that since the UK officially left EU on December 31, 2020, the proportion of supporting Britain's "Brexit" has been at a "record low" in the past two years. YouGov said that only 32% of British people now believe that Brexit is correct, and 56% think it is a wrong decision.
In the 2016 referendum, nearly 52% of British people voted for Brexit. Previous YouGov polls showed that until the 2017 British Parliament election, most British people supported "Brexit". But since 2017, except for a few examples, the UK's public opinion tendency has "turned in another direction." The latest survey results show that the gap is "the largest ever", and the proportion of "Brexit" is wrong is 24 percentage points beyond the proportion of considered correct.
. Among the British voters who support Brexit, 19% now believe that Brexit is wrong for the UK, and this proportion hits a "history high." Swati Dhingra, an external member of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee, explained on Wednesday that many European countries are currently struggling to cope with the cost of living and the energy crisis, and that Western sanctions on Russia and a sharp reduction in Russia's energy supply have exacerbated these crises, but the UK will suffer greater impact than other countries. Dingra revealed that "Brexit" has increased food prices in the UK by 6%, causing British workers to lose about 2.6%. Britain's "Brexit" has also led to a decrease in the amount of commercial investment and trade.
And YouGov website mentioned that this month, former Environment Secretary George Eustice said in a debate in the House of Commons that the post-Brexit trade agreement with Australia is "in fact not a very good deal" for the UK. Simon Wolfson, CEO of Next, a retailer who supports Brexit, urged the British government to facilitate foreign workers' entry into the UK, saying it was "not the Brexit I wanted." (Editor: HHJ)
