Brexit: All you need to know about the UK leaving the EU
Brexit happened when the UK left the European Union on 31 January 2020.
If it feels like little has changed, that's because both sides agreed many things would stay the same for 11 months, to allow leaders time to agree a deal for life after Brexit.
Time runs out on 31 December but things are far from settled.
What is this Brexit deal?
The EU and the UK always had to agree new rules for how to live, work and trade together.
While the UK was in the EU, companies could buy and sell goods across EU borders without paying taxes (known as tariffs). If there is no trade deal, businesses will have to start paying these taxes, which could make things more expensive.
As well as a deal on goods the UK would like one on services, which are a big part of its economy. This isn't part of the talks, but separate agreements on things like banking are still possible.
Agreements on areas like airline safety, medicine and the sharing of information about security threats are also important.
When might we get a deal?
A deadline of 15 October set by UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is long gone. The UK and EU have been talking, but with a few weeks to go, the two sides say the conditions for a deal are still "not there".
The three main sticking points are:
- The EU is worried the UK could give financial help to its own firms, or find other ways to give them an unfair advantage
- Both sides are concerned about who will be allowed to fish in UK waters
- They need to decide how any agreement they reach will be enforced
The EU also fears the UK is trying to change an agreement made about the complicated case of Northern Ireland - the only part of the UK to have a land border with the EU.
What if we don't get a deal?
There is a lot of trade between the EU and the UK, which won't change overnight.
If there is no trade deal, it could mean higher prices in UK shops. There could also be delays as lorries bringing products in would need even more border checks.
Brexit supporters say leaving the EU will give the UK more freedom to strike trade deals around the world.
When the UK was in the EU, it was automatically part of EU trade deals with more than 70 countries.
