SPEAKERS ON BREXIT – THE DEPARTURE OF THE UK FROM THE EUROPEAN UNION

Brexit Speakers: In the referendum of June 23 2016 voters in the United Kingdom made an historic decision to leave the European Union by a margin of 51.89% to 48.11%.

Speakers on the implications and consequences of British withdrawal include writers and specialists on the political, business, financial, economic, banking, trade, legal, and social outcomes of this momentous event. Specialist Brexit Speakers include supporters of Remain, believers in Leave, and writers and commentators who are merely highly informed observers.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland actually left the European Union on 31st January 2020 entering a ‘transition or implementation period’ of eleven months. Transitional arrangements between the UK and the EU ended at 2300hrs GMT on 31st December 2020 following the signing of the EU–UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement - a free trade agreement signed the previous day.

The incoming Labour administration in the UK has vowed not to rejoin the Single Market, the Custom Union, or to permit Freedom of Movement but to improve the relationship with EU. The question is what does that mean in detail and how much difference would it really make?
