Editor's note

After a week of high Brexit drama at Westminster, it’s time to take stock of the deal that’s on the table and what could happen to it next. We lined up a panel of experts to analyse the detail of the 585-page draft Withdrawal Agreement and accompanying political declaration. Read their take, alongside how different factions want to change the deal and whether it is actually what the country voted for.

And we’ve pulled together a series of articles from our recent archive to help prepare you for the possible scenarios ahead.
