Brexit : conséquences socio-économiques et Global Britain

Analyze the impact of the Brexit referendum held in 2016. In a short paragraph, explain the core socio-economic consequences for the UK. Use the following data points to structure your argument: the fluctuation of the British Pound ($£$) which dropped by approximately $10\%$ against the US Dollar ($USD$) shortly after the vote, the implementation of new trade barriers leading to an increase in operational costs for businesses, and the ongoing debate regarding the Northern Ireland Protocol. Connect these points to the geopolitical concept of 'Global Britain'.
