Brexit,
Britain was promised, would allow the country to ‘take back control’ – of its
economy, its borders and its land. But what has that really meant for people
now living with its consequences?
It’s three
years since the UK officially left the EU. For many of those who voted to leave
in the 2016 referendum, it was in answer to a promise to take back control – of
funding, over farming, over immigration and trade. But have those promises been
kept?
Lisa
O’Carroll, the Guardian’s Brexit correspondent, and Heather Stewart, a Guardian
special correspondent, tell Nosheen Iqbal what they have learned from
travelling the country to build up a picture of Brexit’s impact. From Welsh
sheep farmers to tea exporters in Reading, they explain how changes in
bureaucracy and subsidies have affected people’s livelihoods – and how a lack
of EU workers has made recruiting more difficult.
