Most of the major Brexit proponents said (and continue to say) that jobs will not be moving abroad, and everyone in the UK will be better off.

Evidently, this is false.

I thought they said that about private sector jobs, not EU jobs? I'll admit that I haven't been following it too closely since I'm not in the EU.

Fair point, it wouldn’t make sense for EU jobs to not be in the EU, but it’s not like that distinction is ever made in the discourse either.

Either way, it’s fewer jobs in the UK.

For a while David Davis seemed to think the UK could hold on to the EMA. See https://pharmaphorum.com/news/uk-keeping-european-medicines-... for example.
