Original Note:
The claim that Brexit has led to an increase is debt-to-GDP is spurious. The pictured increase was caused by the response to Covid-19. In fact, the years after Brexit until the pandemic saw a small decrease in Britain's debt-to-GDP ratio. https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/governmentpublicsectorandtaxes/publicspending/bulletins/ukgovernmentdebtanddeficitforeurostatmaast/september2021
