Even the Daily Mail have started to realize that Brexit is turning toxic.

According to the latest household finance index survey by IHS Markit, reports the Daily Mail, Britons have become increasingly pessimistic about the long-term effects of Brexit on the economy

Just days before the UK triggers Article 50 to formally set the Brexit process in motion, the research firm found even the older generation and the poorest households, who were initially the only segments of population to be optimistic about Brexit, have changed their minds.

And in the North East, which was one of only four out of the 11 regions to be positive on balance shortly after the referendum, has now turned negative.

The survey comes as job site Indeed warned that EU workers’ appetite for the UK jobs market was cooling ‘dramatically’.

Since the start of 2017 the number of people in other EU countries searching online for UK jobs has slumped by 18 per cent, according to Indeed.
