UK Will Not Align With EU Rules, Says Raab.
Britain’s Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab delivers a speech in Manchester, north-west England on September 29, 2019. Paul ELLIS / AFPBritain began an uncertain future outside the European Union on Saturday, as it gears up for likely gruelling negotiations on future relations with the EU after the historic end to almost half a century of membership.

A clock projected on the walls outside counted down the minutes to Brexit becoming a reality at 11 pm — midnight in Brussels. Some pro-Europeans, including many of the 3.6 million EU citizens who have made their lives in Britain, marked the occasion with candlelit gatherings. Britain’s diplomatic mission in Brussels on Saturday changed the building’s nameplate to read “UK Mission to the European Union”, signalling its new non-member status.
