You are spot on.
The ideologically pure Brexiteers have got control of the steering wheel though, and they actually believe the hype that we have a glorious economic future when we can deregulate, do direct FTA, and hand pick our immigrants from around the world.
Whereas this is the moment when we chose irreversibly to consign ourselves to being a backwater in terminal decline.

I'm not one for hyperbole, but this has to be the biggest political error of judgement since Chamberlain, no? If you told me a year ago that the Tory party would be causing untold damage to the interests of the business community for the sake of appeasing a few populists I'd have said you were mad.
But here we are, watching them commit economic self harm because too many of the population believed the right wing media's constant blaming of migrants for the nations ills.
