Or at least with the restoration of English sovereignty. https://twitter.com/Peston/status/1343930988263591938
What we all need to realise - there are two separate narratives of Brexit. A heroic story of sovereignty and control recovered from a centralising machine. And a nuts and bolts story of economics, trade, businesses, people. They don't often meet.
The UK has defeated the centralised (possibly evil) machine in one narrative, with only the Northern Ireland as a battle lost. In the second, the UK now faces hugely increased barriers to trade, and will still be tied to the EU by geography and the Brussels Effect.
The next few years of UK politics and economics are going to be all about the battle of narratives. Can Labour play in the sovereignty narrative? Can the Conservatives balance sovereignty and reality enough to revive the economy? How does Scotland play? Etc
