Revise: Relationships with Global OrganisationsBrexit means the UK is no longer an EU member and no longer participates in its political decision-making as a member state.
Do not confuse the European Union with the Council of Europe. Brexit did not mean leaving the European Convention on Human Rights.
Use dates when quoting financial estimates, and do not assume that an increase in NHS spending was caused entirely by Brexit.
Brexit ended UK membership of the EU, not membership of the Council of Europe or participation in the European Convention on Human Rights.

Paper 2
The UK's departure from the European Union following the 2016 referendum.
Revise: UK Relations with EuropeBefore Brexit, free movement made it easier for UK and EU citizens to move between member states to live and work. Its ending meant that new moves became subject to immigration requirements rather than the same automatic membership-based rights. UK citizens moving to EU countries may need permission to work, and requirements vary between countries.
