We need to tackle social questions we can’t sacrifice poor people end-of-the month to prevent the end of the world, especially when billionaire are doing fine. We can’t keep the minimal wage frozen when billionaire are getting richer than ever. We can’t let corporation replace our working class by slave like labour in south East asia, with the rise of automation and AI we need to get "Universal Basic income"for everyone.

Brexit made all of this worse.

That's not the point. Three point is while the establishment was sitting back ignoring the problems of regular people, the far right was shouting about railing against the elites and taking the country back. Realistic or not they found a base and energized it while "the left" sat on its neo liberal infatuated thumbs.
