BREXIT Myths: Can't we just get Brexit done?
Short answer: No.
Longer answer: No. When we leave, we're straight into a decade or so of the real Brexit negotiations. What we've negotiated so far is just the Irish Border, the divorce bill, and citizens' rights. Everything else (the hard bits) will be negotiated after we leave. We will be trying to replace all our current trade deals with the rest of the world - all the countries and trading blocs - at the same time. It is likely to take at least 5 years.
