To play devil's advocate the extent to which a government can improve the economy is often overstated. Big events like the Global Financial Crash and Covid have a much bigger impact.
However, one could also argue that things like Brexit (as a whole and specifically the laughable handling of it which landed us with a no-deal) were self-inflicted. As was not squandering our early 2010s progress in renewals, creating an overall less attractive environment for investment, not having a clear industrial strategy, making us look like a hot mess by randomly killing massive infrastructure projects and continuely threaterning to upend the international rule of law.
Happy Blame the Tories Day!
