dc.description	The British government’s decision to leave the European Union has, as was widely predicted, inflicted severe damage on the UK. A series of short-lived governments have limped from crisis to crisis, presiding over progressive economic decline. It was soon clear that the ‘sunlit uplands’ promised by Brexit’s supporters were illusory and Boris Johnson’s claim to have ‘got Brexit done’ was as a fantasy. Yet even if many of those in England and Wales who voted Leave now recognize that they were lied to, the fact is that they were in the (narrow) majority. This was not the case in Scotland or Northern Ireland and it is on the island of Ireland where the damage caused by Brexit is being felt most acutely. Once again, political developments have profound consequences for public health.	en_US
