You have to ask were there any Brexitiers who cared about any kind of business at all?
As far as you and me are concerned, not a cat in hell's chance of us being better off or taken any care of.

Otherwise yes - the one's that were already and those that became billionaires through Government incompetence during Covid and Brexit. Covid helped the acceleration of Government (i.e. the tax-payers) funds into their pockets where they quickly and quietly stashed the cash in off-shore bank accounts and hence pay no UK tax on it. They'd have got there anyway by the end of this Government's term. Thus taking more and more money out of our economy which the BoE then has to replace, thus devaluing the £ which drives up inflation on imported goods, particularly energy related goods, that are mostly paid for in US$'s. The £ is still worth less on nearly all FX markets, especially those that matter, than it was up to and on the day of the vote. It fell through the floor the following morning when the result came in.

To put this into context, the UK in 2022 had 177 billionaires and they owned £653 billion. (Times Rich List/Sky News).

The UK GDP is about US$ 3.2 trillion or just under £3 trillion. So in round numbers 177 people own the equivalent of 20% of the UK GDP. Of course, not a single one of them would ever dream of trying to influence the UK Government in any shape or form, especially if they ever had to pay tax at source.
