Just 30% say it was right for the UK to leave the EU, compared to 55% who say it was wrong. This is the lowest proportion of the public saying that it was right to vote to leave since the polls began asking this question in the aftermath of the referendum.

In 2023 BBC News reported that Brexit is the reason why the Vauxhall plant may close down costing 1,500 jobs

In 2024, there's little mention of Brexit being the reason why it's closing down. Why?
