While Brexit hasn't been great it's also not been a total disaster.

I voted to stay in and will vote to rejoin if I ever get the chance.

It's cost the UK economy £140bn so far and we've lost our right to live and work in Europe, so I'd say it's been pretty disastrous.

Well sure, but just as BoJo promised us Tam-Tam Australian biscuits are now on UK supermarket shelves. They look yuck, mind.
 
This Russian business gives both sides (UK and EU) an excuse to back down, if they're smart enough to take it.
 
Before Brexit:

 
Still more Brexit happening.

Small UK businesses complain of being caught unawares by EU ‘red tape’​

New safety regulations that surprised British businesses still selling to Europe (and Northern Ireland), because basically no one told them, because again, new regulations in the EU doesn't really make the news in the UK anymore since they left.

Here we have the impacts of Brexit:

Five key impacts of Brexit five years on​

Export on goods down, immigration up (except from the EU which is down), harder to travel, and still no one, neither journalists not politicians seems to know how laws work. There are no EU laws, the so called EU laws were already British law. And it's doubtful the UK has more cash money from not paying EU fees, because they certainly don't act like there suddenly is more green in the budget. Quite the contrary.
 
Not too happy with the new EU-UK deal, it's a good deal for Britain, just don't think we in the EU really needed any new deal with Britain. What did the EU really gain from it besides fishing access?

Its hardly a new new Deal. It is an extension of the existing deal which was due to run out, for another decade plus. Added to that are certain things that benefit both sides.

Fishing? Meh. Within a year of Brexit, most of the" Britain for the British" licences had been sold on to EU fishing companies by the British owners.

The many times delayed biomteric border controls will go online from October. The implementation period is October to April. Expect long queues and nonsensical headlines.

Biometrics to replace stamps at EU border from 12 October​


This has been a long time coming. It has been delayed for technical reasons many times. I am pretty sure the UK was still an EU member when the decision to implement this was made.

Wasn't this one of Cameron's ideas in the first place?

Think it was an idea floating around since the early 2000s when the US implemented their ESTA, but it was first proposed as legislation in April 2016. The UK government was one of the main backers from what I understand...and we'll we all know what happened in 2016.
