In March, Britain and the EU reached a milestone agreement in their Brexit negotiations, but the road to a sensible outcome remains complex and long, with ample opportunity for spats and setbacks along the way.

These include a practicable solution to the Irish border problem, agreeing on UK/EU trading arrangements after the end of the Brexit transition period, and how much say the UK would have in European financial rule-making.
