Friday marks five years since Britain left the European Union at 11 p.m. on Jan. 31, 2020.

The British government has hailed an era of cheaper Australian wine and New Zealand kiwi fruit as free-trade agreements with the two southern hemisphere nations took effect.

The U.K. has agreed to join an Asia-Pacific trade pact that includes Japan, Mexico and Australia.

After an acrimonious divorce and years of bickering, Britain’s government looks like it wants to make up with the European Union.

Her successor, Johnson, secured his own withdrawal agreement with the EU in October 2019, allowing for the U.K. to leave on Jan. 31. The two sides are hoping to agree a free trade deal with no tariffs and no quotas. So it is demanding strict legal guarantees on the governance of any trade deal. The EU fears Britain will slash social and environmental standards and pump state money into U.K. industries, becoming a low-regulation economic rival on the bloc’s doorstep. As well as the economic impact, a no-deal exit would endanger everything from U.K. police forces’ access to EU crime databases to U.K.-EU cooperation in science.
