Exactly. As are many more here seeing the downvotes I'm getting.

>trying to discount the effects of Brexit
You mean the effects shown in this graph? An increase since Brexit became formal in 2017?
Everyone has already made their minds up that Brexit is bad for Britain, and people can't even get rid of their bias with data stating the opposite.
It's the same with disclaimers like "I know Putin is the incarnation of the antichrist, but..." and then a discussion about the actual facts can begin.
Just get rid of your damn media-constructed preconceptions and approach the subject with an open mind. No disclaimers needed. Anyone replying with a partisan/political closed mind can fuck right off and be ignored easily, don't try to cater to them.

>not show that large a shock
It doesn't show a shock at all. It shows an increase from the date Brexit became definite, and a decrease from the date the pandemic and subsequent lockdowns started.
Your bias definitely shines through, as does OP's.

> I’m adamantly pro-EU and voted remain, but
??? What does your opinion got to do with a graph not showing a "deepened gap", when OP still want to make believe the graph shows a "deepened gap"?

That's just the ideal population with a very sick and disgusting rationale and ideology behind it.
A couple of million would probably be enough to continue and progress further.

What are YOU fucking talking about?
"On 29 March 2017, the British government formally began the withdrawal process by invoking Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union with permission from Parliament."
