True, but as an observation it really crystalised something for me.
The conservatives tried to portray themselves as the party you could trust with the purse strings. They're the economic party, rather than the ideological one. (I personally never believed that but it's why they've won elections for the last ten years, so someone obviously did.)
But with Brexit, that's no longer something they can push. They're clearly ideologically driven, it's no longer hideable. I hope Labour are smart enough to exploit it.

Given that the whole Brexit decision is reckless and driven by politics, rather than Britain's national interest, I'd say that was inevitable.
