More than a decade after the Brexit referendum, efforts to strengthen relations between the United Kingdom and the European Union (EU) are attracting growing attention, although Britain has indicated that it is not considering rejoining the bloc. From a period marked by division, tensions, and mistrust following Brexit, through gradual efforts to mend ties, to the current push for closer cooperation, UK-EU relations have undergone a strategic shift amid a rapidly changing world.

The question of whether Britain’s departure from the European Union (EU), commonly known as Brexit, has proven effective has long been a sensitive and contentious issue in British political and social life.

The United Kingdom (UK) and the European Union (EU) have signed an agreement ending border checks on cross-border movement between Spain and Gibraltar.

June 2026 marks the tenth anniversary of the UK’s referendum on leaving the European Union (EU), the starting point of the Brexit “divorce” whose consequences continue to be felt today.

UK Finance Minister Jeremy Hunt has just said the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), confirmed that the UK economy is currently in a recession. British officials said the country's economy is paying the price for leaving "the common roof of Europe".
