On 31 January 2020 the UK left the EU. We got Brexit done to take backcontrol, to make our own laws, and to manage our own money.
Foreword by the Prime Minster
The United Kingdom’s uncoupling from the rules,
regulations and institutions of Brussels was never simply
about the moment of our departure; the act of Brexit was
not an end in itself but the means by which our country
will achieve great things.
And so that historic night two years ago marked not the
final page of the story, but the start of a whole new
chapter for our country, our economy and our people.
A future in which we don’t sit passively outside the
European Union but seize the incredible opportunities
that our freedom presents and use them to build back
better than ever before—making our businesses more
competitive and our people more prosperous.
This paper sets out how we’ll go about it. Untangling ourselves from 40 years of EU
membership, keeping what works, changing what doesn’t, supporting new industries,
reinvigorating older ones and firmly planting the British flag on the world stage once again.
This is a hugely exciting time for our country, one filled with potential and opportunity. The
bolder we are, the greater the gains will be for us all. And—as this document
demonstrates—this is a government that possesses the ambition and determination the
UK needs to succeed now and for many years to come.
