The EU didn’t cause our problems
Leaving hasn’t solved them
We should be tackling rampant poverty, housing, low productivity, health, climate and education

Not a single Brexit supporting Tory has publicly confessed to doubts (save Sarah Wollaston, who changed sides during the referendum campaign itself).
It’s genuinely odd.
STATISTICALLY SPEAKING you’d think at least a few would have shifted, like the UK population. But for some reason it’s omertà.

The Tories tried a similar trick with their “promise” to boost NHS spending by £350m a week after Brexit.
They just waited for enough years to pass so compound inflation did its thing and said:
“Look! The NHS budget is now £350m a week bigger than five years ago.”
Fantasy / fraudulent economics

Five years is a long time.
25% over that period is 4.55% a year. Still plenty, but a very different vibe to the 25% headline.

Wonderfully sane. Enjoy the “coffee” I just bought you for all your hard work. It reminds me of the debunk by (Jim Slater?) of all the 67 times the UK “got outvoted” in the EU - all of which showed the UK govt of the day to be on the wrong side.

How long before the first well-known Tory Brexiteer breaks cover and calls for the UK to rejoin?

That was honestly my recollection too - but the Wiki page on the subject says otherwise (I think I subconsciously discounted polls I didn’t like 😬)

Lots of polls in the run-up sowed neck and neck or even a Leave majority. But the Leave “winners” liked to play up their triumph.
