On 23 June 2016, the UK holds a referendum on whether to leave the European Union, narrowly voting to leave and triggering major political and economic uncertainty across the UK and Europe. The story of Brexit then unfolds over subsequent years, moving from the immediate referendum result to a series of government decisions, negotiations, and political consequences. Multiple outlets frame the period as a progression from the shock of “referendum night” to later fallout within UK politics, including resignations as key figures respond to the direction and management of Brexit. While specific events and dates are not detailed in the provided excerpts, the combined accounts emphasise the overall arc: a close referendum result in 2016 is followed by a decade of developments that shape how the UK seeks to implement leaving the EU, and political leadership changes that culminate in resignations. The coverage reflects on how the vote becomes a defining national event and how its implementation remains a central issue in UK public life.
