When is Brexit? Key dates in 2019 as UK prepares exit from the EU

BRITAIN’S departure from the EU has been delayed meaning Brexiteers will have to wait until October 31 until our historic exit.

Here are some of key dates in the Brexit process.

Key dates leading up to 2019

On November 25, 2018, EU leaders agreed the UK’s Brexit deal at the Brussels summit.

The agreement on the UK’s withdrawal was considered to be the “best and only deal possible“.

On December 10, 2018, Theresa May scrapped the vote on her Brexit in the Commons as it was due to fall to a heavy defeat.

And on January 15 the Brexit vote failed by 432 votes to 202.
