The Brexit deal: An IfG briefing

Listen to the podcast

The UK–EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement was published on Christmas Eve, just a week before the transition period was due to end.

So what does the deal mean for the UK – and for its relationship with the EU? What will change for businesses? How will data be shared? Will the EU and the UK continue to work closely on security issues? How was the contentious issue of fishing finally sorted? And what does ‘taking back control’ really mean in practice?

The Institute for Government Brexit team assembled for a special Brexit deal podcast to make sense of what has been agreed and what will happen on 1 January.

Jill Rutter, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government, in conversation with Maddy Thimont Jack, Associate Director; James Kane, Associate; Georgina Wright, Associate; and Joe Marshall, Senior Researcher.
