Contesto politico, Centro-destra: Explicitly pro-Brexit and aligned with Conservative and Eurosceptic arguments; strongly critical of Remain parties, liberal institutions and continued EU integration.

Jonathan Isaby reviews BrexitCentral’s coverage from its launch in September 2016 through the United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union on 31 January 2020. The account follows the referendum result, the legal and parliamentary battles over Article 50, Theresa May’s unsuccessful withdrawal agreement and Chequers plan, the rise of the Brexit Party, Boris Johnson’s Conservative leadership, the 2019 general election and the eventual passage of a revised withdrawal agreement.
