Ten years ago, the UK voted to leave the European Union. This decision has brought significant changes to many parts of British life, from jobs to travel and care services.
It has been ten years since the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union. This historic decision has led to many lasting changes across the country.
For example, the Nissan car factory near Sunderland has seen car production drop. While the government has provided financial help, a new deal to produce cars for a Chinese company, Chery, offers a new path forward.
The fishing industry also hoped for more control over British waters after Brexit. However, many fishers still face challenges, including difficulties with exports and rising costs, making it harder to earn a living.
British citizens now use blue passports, but travel to Europe has become different. They often face longer queues at borders and will soon need to pay a small fee to visit EU countries.
The care sector has also felt the effects. It became harder to recruit staff from EU countries, leading to more care workers coming from other parts of the world, like Nigeria and India.
