Tenth anniversary of the Brexit referendum prompts reflection on Britain's departure from the EU.
On June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom voted 52% to 48% to leave the European Union. The UK formally exited the EU on January 31, 2020, after years of negotiations. A decade later, the country is marking the anniversary amid political instability, with Prime Minister Keir Starmer announcing his resignation, making him the seventh prime minister since the vote.
