Intensive week for Brexit - this is how it looks

The opening of the British Parliament. Queen Elizabeth of the United Kingdom gave the "Queen's Speech" describing the government's plans for the coming year. The speech is not written by the monarch himself but by the government.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson's focus was that the speech would reflect what will happen after the UK leaves the EU.

His opposition says the speech is "politically jippy" because the Conservatives lack a majority in parliament, which allows an election to be held in the coming months. This, in turn, means that many of the proposals that will be presented in the speech will not even become law.

Opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn said Sunday that "the speech is a party political broadcast from the throne."

Members of the British Parliament will debate the Queen's speech. A debate that is scheduled to last for several days.

EU Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier will update the other 27 Member States on the progress of the Brexit negotiations.

French President Emanuel Macron and Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel meet today before the big EU membership meeting where Brexit will be discussed.

Now it is two weeks to the Brexit deadline. All 28 EU member states gather in Brussels for a two-day meeting to disseminate Brexit. The other 27 countries must agree whether or not to have an agreement with the UK.

Brexit can also be postponed a third time, if that is something Britain is asking for. However, many people are hesitant to extend the story of Brexit, but also want to avoid the financial pain that a contractless Brexit could entail.

The EU leaders' meeting and discussions should probably drag over to Friday, but sometime during the day the British government should have been notified and the public should know what the 27 countries have decided.

Thousands of people are expected to demonstrate against Brexit outside Britain's parliament on Saturday. Inside the Parliament, the members meet to possibly approve the agreement that the government has managed to reach with the EU.
