On 27 February a parliamentary vote on the course of Brexit took the threat of a hard (no-deal) Brexit on 29 March off the table. The next milestone is a series of three cascaded votes mid March.

The United Kingdom Parliament finally gets their turn on Brexit. In the evening of 15 January the MP’s will vote on the EU-UK deal and we expect that they will reject the current deal. That will push the UK into several weeks of political turbulence.
