Just to add to this there was a good Financial Times film [1] recently that covered the after effects of Brexit. Covid and Ukraine have allowed politicians to divert attention away from the economic disaster that Brexit has been, and have been handy scapegoats, but the fact Brexit has damaged the U.K. economically is undeniable. 1: [this video]
Covers the aftermath of Brexit.

With the mess of England's prime minster, a number of Brexit videos showed up in my feed on Youtube... some of the ones that I've watched that are interesting. A German documentary (it has English subtitles for the German narration)): British Fishermen and Brexit | ARTE.tv Documentary [link] A financial times article on Brexit - The Brexit effect: how leaving the EU hit the UK | FT Film [this video] A TLDR from earlier this week: No-one Likes Brexit Anymore: What Happens Next? [link] (the main part on this relevant is the polling and the corresponding events) --- There's a fair bit of Brexit-regret going on now and some people apparently still think its a good idea. At the time of the referendum, it appears that quite a few people who did a day's work in Britain thought that it was a good idea, but have since come to realize that it wasn't.
One of several interesting Brexit videos.
