Four years after the referendum that led to Brexit, the long-term consequences of shaping a country's future on nativist, populist anger are being revealed. The UK's departure from the European Union has not only slowed economic growth but also contributed to the increase in prices due to trade barriers with the EU, its biggest trading partner.

Boris Johnson, who rose to power on his long-time Euroskeptic stance, is one of the four prime ministers who have left 10 Downing Street amidst the chaos caused by Brexit. His tenure was marred by a series of ethics scandals that forced him out of office.

The damage caused by Brexit goes beyond the economic sphere. The rejection of membership in the EU's single market has hindered the performance of public utilities such as the NHS, education, the Post Office, and the water and sewage system. The UK is now facing the consequences of rolling back the frontiers of the state, with many public services failing to work properly.

Although the UK is not considered a failed state, it is undoubtedly ailing, with a significant portion of the population disillusioned by the state of affairs. Brexit was supposed to reverse the country's economic decline, but instead, it has exacerbated existing problems and created new challenges.

As the UK grapples with job losses, increased immigration, and a decline in financial services, the negative consequences of Brexit are becoming more evident. The country faces domestic challenges and global implications, struggling to establish trade agreements and address the ongoing cost of living crisis.

The future of the UK post-Brexit looks uncertain, as the nation tries to navigate a new reality shaped by its decision to leave the European Union.
