It was always clear that getting out of the EU was the easy bit; the hard bit would be getting the agreements in place to make it work.
EU through Barnier still seem determined to push for their preferred solution and do not really understand that for the UK, leave means leave and independence from EU control.
Irrespective of personal views on the wisdom of Brexit, we will never disentangle the wisdom of leaving from the impacts of CV-19.
Brexiteers will insist that all economic problems stem from CV-19, Remainers will assert the situation was made far worse through having left and been intransigent about extending the negotiation process.
Boris now has a lot of cast iron excuses if (more likely when) negotiations fail.
