What Brexit means for you

What's happened?
On 23 June 2016, the British public voted for the UK to leave the EU. This outcome has precipitated a seismic change in British politics, where the new Prime Minister, Theresa May, has already appointed David Davis to be the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union. This demonstrates a clear commitment to the UK leaving the union, but the timing of the triggering of Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty still remains unclear.
