it was obvious that brexit was a project owned by the extreme right and I don’t want to live in a country where they are setting the agenda, and I don’t want to leave the EU in a manner where they are in the driving seat.
Although I'm less sceptical towards the EU than you, this resonates very much with me.

So? The left critique and the right critique of the EU differ, and have different goals. Just because both agree on a simple basic idea - we should leave the EU - doesn’t make them natural allies.
For instance, me - longtime left eurosceptic, voted remain. Not because I believe in the EU, but because it was obvious that brexit was a project owned by the extreme right and I don’t want to live in a country where they are setting the agenda, and I don’t want to leave the EU in a manner where they are in the driving seat.
