Today is the 7th anniversary of the Brexit vote.
On June 23 2016, Britain went to the polls to vote on whether to stay or leave the EU in a referendum that divided the country's opinion unlike any had done before. Since then the country has faced unprecedented challenges, with the covid pandemic and the cost of living crisis being the most recent.
In the days that led up to the vote, not many people would have predicted it would shape up as it did. Since then, we've had five different prime ministers, including David Cameron who resigned on the day the decision to leave was announced. It would be almost four years before the country actually left the union
