It does not seem to have been met with a great amount of excitement even by the government. According to the BBC it will make further trade deals with other countries harder and some not possible at all

It seem to me that labour and others has forgotten the we had a referendum and the people voted to leave and if all parties had got behind the vote. Instead of in fighting we would not be in this mess now if we was to rejoin we be worse off in the long term

It seems to me that remain warned that it would bring no benefits, and that’s what’s happened.

Now public opinion from 2017-present (except a brief spell during Covid) reflects that the majority think Brexit was a bad idea and we were wrong to leave.

From an Irish perspective; several UK agencies have moved their EU operations to Ireland, so more employment & tax revenue for the Irish exchequer.

Also; while still edgy, we/Ireland were able to keep an open border with NI & so maintain peace.

Ireland has also diversified our suppliers too; an anecdote, but for my side business, I have moved from UK to EU suppliers; I was using UK supplies just for convenience but not have better, cheaper service compared to pre-Brexit.

Ireland has also become a more interesting option for students for Erasmus scheme, as they can improve their English, due to FOM

UK voted to leave the EU, which you did in 2020.

UK did not vote to leave the CU or SM, both of which UK public were told wouldn't happen by Hannan, Garage, Johnson, etc.

The UK is Ireland's second largest export market (after US), so be careful what you wish for. UK customers have options too, and you might be needing them if Trump imposes EU tariffs

My point was that due to Brexit, Irish (& other EU MSs) are getting benefits...for UK companies, I think the jury is still out on when those Brexit benefits are coming...

Yes, the jury is out on benefits, but there were always two threads to Brexit a) political and b) economic. The former is much harder to measure than the latter.

It was very much sold as an economic benefit though, particularly from vote leave (leave dot EU were cagier on economics).

Partly, but the top two reasons were political : sovereignty and immigration

Yeah, the guy who wasn’t representing the leave campaign(s) told everyone what leave meant, while the guys who were representing the leave campagn(s) stammered and stuttered and pretended to be all things to all people.
