Britain exits EU

After 47 years of European Union membership, Britain finally left the 27-nation bloc on January 31 at 11:00 pm (local time). UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson called Britain's departure as a 'moment of real national renewal and change' while thousands of supporters gathered outside the British Parliament. Most Britons were seen welcoming the moment they longed for since the 2016 referendum to leave the European Union which was joined back in 1973 with 52 percent Britons backing the decision of Brexit 

Johnson said that Brexit recaptured sovereignty – to deliver the changes people voted for. As Britain moves into an 11-month transition period with the EU, Michel Barnier, the European Union's head of negotiations with the UK called the Brexit day as 'emotional'. However, Nigel Farage, the leader of the Brexit Party in the UK called it the last day before Britons 'break free'.
