The £350m per week has probably been swallowed up during Covid
Um, does anyone believe that was anything other than utter bilge? I don't run a business. If I did I would start making more money through exporting.
As for the benefits we revel in right now, I'm somewhat stumped. The world hasn't ended. It hasn't exploded in rainbows and cartoon birds doing loop the loops either.

If Britain rejoined the EU tomorrow, which Brexit benefits would you miss the most?
I'm not aware I've experienced any benefits, I do believe I've experienced disbenefits.I'm not aware I've seen a penny of the £350 mill a week.
I do worry a bit about the lowering of standards that JRM is promising, (though I know that everything the UK sells will have to be to the buyers standards and regs).

I do wonder if, instead of having post Brexit agreements that the EU and UK have different interpretations of, perhaps our government (successive governments in fact) should have just done what was best for the UK despite being in the EU. Maybe you get fined, but if the benefits outweigh the costs then so what?
Doing what France and Hungary do, in essence (many others I'm sure, but France's block of food imports from UK still sticks in my craw).
The "we'd love to do this but unfortunately it conflicts with our constitution" excuse doesn't work anymore, but that was a really good wheeze for the French whilst it lasted. Did lead to some unusual things, mind - France voted in favour of legislation to protect minority languages (e.g. Cornish) whilst refusing to enact it in France because their constitution pretends that no-one speaks Breton.

What would we miss?!! - the freedom to do what we want without having to make sure that it's ok with 27 other countries.
......but I'm sure you know that anyway.
Probably better if you stop dreaming of the impossible.
And what “rules” have we made since leaving that we could not before?......but I'm sure you know that anyway.
