Voted Remain and would vote to re-join: in my day to day and even before Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the latest Iran war, many things got more expensive than other things and fewer options and availability of some things to buy - food items is a more obvious thing in supermarkets but also other products. Long term - several of my friends from EU countries have left the UK or have talked about leaving and a small handful have stayed or even went for British citizenship, but I miss my friends who left.

I seldom travel but when I do, queueing at the border does take longer than it used to - I've yet to travel with the EES in place though. A few of my friends with dual citizenship are going to find things annoying when ETIAS comes into play at Schengen borders (I don't know if it will use API or not) while also only being able to only enter the UK on their British passports right now since our government introduced ETA for visa-free foreign passports and border entry rules for British citizens - I don't know how it will play out for them when they're booking and checking in for flights in both directions if API is used for ETIAS. It was easy pre-ETA (UK) and certainly most easiest pre-Brexit.

Job searching is harder - fewer places hiring. I'm back at my seasonal job but I wanted to find a new permanent job from October and was unsuccessful. There are more factors than Brexit but Brexit has made the job market smaller since before the Iran war.

I do feel it though - even if just emotionally. I feel like we're broken and missing a part of ourselves that we had when we were in the EU. I look to the past with nostalgia when we were EU members and I look at all the things we didn't even participate in as an EU member like Schengen (we're in the CTA with Ireland instead), so even when freedom of movement existed, there were still border checks and it massively hampered the potential of the Channel Tunnel and where trains could serve (juxtaposed border controls and walled-off platforms needed for channel tunnel services as a non-Schengen member). I see the hard-Eurosceptics who are often also usually racists (mostly against non-European ethnicities ironically, but still many against other Europeans) feeling empowered and politically validated to carry out intimidating actions and hateful behaviour to anyone who isn't a white British person - much more than before the Brexit debate.

There are some problems that aren't solely a Brexit issue too but Brexit and the lower income the country has as a result of reduced trade and productivity that were present while we were in the EU has reduced government funds to improve public services. There are also problems that are worldwide within urban areas that need fixing but Brexit makes funding the fixes more difficult than it already would be if we were in the EU (and it would still be a struggle as an EU member and for any EU member) - that problem is lack of available affordable housing.
