Brexit: what next?

Summary:

The government faces several challenges after Brexit, including the negotiation of a new trade deal with the European Union, devising and implementing a whole raft of new policies, reshaping the economy and holding the Union together. This report finds the government has not only set itself the mammoth task of negotiating a new relationship with the EU, in just 11 months, but also has to:

• Develop and implement its own immigration, agriculture and environment policies, alongside its new trade policy;
• Devise a coherent and comprehensive strategy to reshape the British economy after Brexit;
• Set up new bodies to take on responsibilities from the EU;
• Keep the Union together in the face of pressures which are putting existing arrangements under strain.
