Feeling a little lost on Brexit? Never really got your head around it in the first place? Let us walk you through it.

Brexit is short for "British exit" - and is the word people use to talk about the United Kingdom's decision to leave the EU (European Union).

A public vote - calleda referendum- was held on Thursday 23 June 2016 when voters were asked just one question - whether the UK should leave or remain in the European Union.

The Leave side won by nearly 52% to 48% - 17.4m votes to 16.1m - but the exit didn't happen straight away. It's due to take place on 29 March 2019.

Mrs May will ask MPs on Thursday 14 March to vote on whether the leaving date of 29 March should be pushed back.
