The consequences of it are mostly in the future though, right?

We are still in the transition period. But it is already having an effect. Brexit is sucking all of the oxygen out of the room. Lots of other things are being ignored because of Brexit. And the country is more divided than I ever remember it being in the past.

I'm still waiting for the house price crash you promised me 4 years ago.

GBP has gone from ~0.7 Euros to ~0.9 Euros since 2016. So if you sell your house and move abroad, you probably will find it's value has fallen significantly.

Brexit takes effect in 2021

Brexit (Britain’s exit from the European Union) happened on 31 January 2020.

yes technically we left 11 months ago but all the rules etc stayed the same for the transition period, its only next year and in the following years that we'll start to notice the effects (like having to get ETIAS to go to Europe in 2022, or having to get health insurance because EHIC isn't a thing for us anymore, and here's hoping the mobile operators are nice and don't reintroduce roaming charges)
