The 2016 referendum held in the United Kingdom approved Brexit. In March 2017, after much delay, the UK invoked article 50 of the European Union Treaty to give notice of its decision to leave the Union. The long-winded negociations between London and Brussels resulted in an agreement of withdrawal. Yet to be approved by the House of Commons. As of now, the date of exit and whether it will be with or without an agreed deal is uncertain. The panelists will deal with the unfolding drama and its implications for UK, Europe, India, and the rest of the world
