Didn't this happen 31st of January 2020 ? That's what wikipedia says.
Yup, it's the end of the transition period. But UK formally left EU 11 months ago. Unless of course the term "formally" has come to suffer similar inflation and inversion as the term "literally".

#22Yay. Now we're free. Oh wait, no, it's just that absolutely everything got harder, more expensive, more nationalistic, more pathetic and sad. It's all incredibly depressing. Here's hoping our kids manage to vote us back in as soon as those Tory f's are out.

Labour were decimated in the last election. I don't suspect they'll be in power with a mandate to rejoin the EU. Btw, things aren't as split down party lines as they may seem. Half the Tory party are Europhiles, and I know many of my Labour friends are anti-EU in a libertarian small government sense.

New old people are created every day. So I wouldn't necessarily count on it.

This weakens the UK and the EU.
We should be coming together, not fracturing into scared, nationalistic islands.
