Abstract
In this talk, Wilsdon explores, first, what happened in the UK's EU referendum in June 2016 and why; second, what Brexit tells us about the relationship between evidence, expertise and policy; third, is this the beginning of the end of UK evidence-informed decision-making?; and, fourth, what are the prospects for evidence and expertise in post-Brexit Britain?
