Remain voters, it is argued, have accommodated themselves to what has happened. As a result, one legacy that Boris Johnson will be able to leave his successor, Liz Truss, is that, arguments about the Northern Ireland protocol apart, Brexit has indeed been done although the recent turmoil in the financial markets has again brought the issue to the surface).

Yet this is not what the polls tell us. Rather, they indicate that the decision to leave the EU is as unpopular now as it has been at any point since 2016 and that the Brexit ballot may prove no more successful in resolving the issue of Britain’s relationship with the EU than its predecessor was in 1975.
