Brexit: What's happened so far

Almost two years since the UK voted to leave

On 29 March 2017, the countdown to the UK formally leaving the EU, also known as Brexit, began. With the world gripped by the coronavirus pandemic, it's been easy to lose track of what's happening with Brexit.

Brexit: What is it?

Brexit was the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union at 23:00 GMT on 31 January 2020 (00:00 CET on 1 February 2020). As of 2020, the UK is the only member state to have left the EU.

What's next?

The UK is now in a transition period until 31 December 2020, during which time it will continue to follow EU rules and regulations. During this time, the UK and the EU will negotiate a new trade deal.

If a deal is not reached by the end of the transition period, the UK will leave the EU without a deal, which could lead to significant disruption to trade and travel.There are still many uncertainties about what will happen after the transition period ends. The outcome of the negotiations between the UK and the EU will have a major impact on the future of the UK.

Conclusion

As the UK prepares to leave the EU, it is still unclear what the future holds. The negotiations between the UK and the EU are ongoing, and the outcome of these negotiations will have a major impact on the future of the UK.
