“It Was The Start Of A Democratic Shake-Up!” UK Marks Five Years Since Brexit

Britain will mark five years since Brexit on Friday with little fanfare as the Government pursues closer relations with the bloc. The UK officially left the EU at 11pm – midnight in Brussels – on January 31 2020, after three-and-a-half years of political wrangling that followed the 2016 Brexit referendum. Since coming to power, Labour has sought a “reset” in relations with the EU, but has consistently ruled out a return to either the customs union or the single market. Talk’s Russell Quirk is joined by former Brexit Party MEP and independent peer Baroness Claire Fox. She says: “Brexit unleashed the genie out of the bottle in terms of people understanding more why democratic control of society is so important.” #uk #eu #brexit #europeanunion Credit to : TalkTV
