Since Britain left the European Union at the end of January 2020, it has become clear that Brexit hasn't lived up to its promises. Public opinion has switched to the view of Brexit as a big mistake.
The criticism from The Economist is clear.

It’s not possible to rejoin currently and trying to do so would only further boost Reform.
Reports of Labour doing nothing are patently false
The public has a long learning curve ahead.
Let's see where they finally end up.
As Niall Ó Conghaile points out:
This won't work. Europe can just walk away, as the status quo is not damaging.
So, it's hurry up offence, stake out positions, and cooperate to meet common goals.
UK experts, journalists and commentators unfortunately focus solely on Brussels. And with Brussels, they appear to think of the Commission.
But the Commission can't do much until the EU-governments have united behind a mandate.
Face down the far right through mass Brexorcisms.
Rejoin EU: Reboot Britain.
