Welcome to the Guardian’s new Brexit podcast, Brexit Means...
In the coming months we’ll be hearing from Britons and Europeans, Leavers and Remainers, politicians and ordinary people, economists, businessmen, lawyers, researchers, campaigners and many more about what Brexit means for them, for the UK and for the EU, how it might work – and how it might not.
It will be a podcast that can’t get enough of experts... And we want to hear from you too.
Our next episode will focus on Article 50: how it works, who gets to trigger it and what happens when negotiations begin. To submit your questions, thoughts or suggestions email us: brexitpodcast@theguardian.com.
In this introductory episode we recount the short history of Brexit and some of the key events since the historic vote to leave the EU on 23 June 2016. In future episodes we’ll be examining at the rights of Brits abroad and EU nationals in the UK, asking how Brexit might affect the City and trying to work out exactly what the single market is (and how it differs from the customs union). We’ll be talking about Brexit and Scotland, the Great Repeal Bill, the work of the government depts dealing with what’s been called the biggest challenge facing the British civil service since WW2, and the role that Brussels and the EU-27 will play in it.
