I'm afraid I must concede defeat.
The general public (understandably) doesn't understand enough of how int'l trade works & the media (unforgivably) has never told the truth.
Announced (Indian & USA) trade deals might appear good but NONE will ever *equally* compensate what UK had as an EU member

1. Brexit does not stand up to scrutiny
2. The more scrutiny is placed on Brexit, the worse it looks
3. A strong majority already think Brexit is going badly
4. Labour can't fight Reform on immigration. They're trying. They'll LOSE.
5. So why not make the fight all about Brexit? That's winnable!

It does matter what leave voters believed, they were brazenly lied to by politicians and the media and they fell for the lies.
No govt since 2015 has done anything whatsoever about the blatant leave lies.

Rejoining the EU would enhance Britain’s sovereignty. We’d get our seat back at the table where key decisions are taken & have a say on the single market rules that so many UK companies have to follow anyway (as it’s the world’s largest market, where we sell most of our exports).
