An pedestrian carries a shopping cart as she walks in the high street in Grays, Essex, on January 18, 2023. - In the referendum in 2016, 72.3% of voters voted for Brexit in the local constituency of Thurrock, of which Grays is the largest town with around 75,000 inhabitants. This made it the fourth largest in the country, out of a total of 382, to vote overwhelmingly for leaving the EU. But three years after the UK's effective withdrawal from the European Union, and with the country in deep social crisis, some are expressing regret.
