What the papers say – February 1
Brexit is the major story across almost all front pages on Saturday.
Brexit leads most newspapers on the first day following Britain’s departure from the the European Union.
“Britain finally cuts EU ties” the Financial Times reports, The Guardian refers to “The day we said goodbye” beneath a glum-faced bulldog and The Times says a “new chapter in Britain’s history began” at 11pm on Friday night.

The i simply asks”What next?”, while The Sun cites Prime Minister Boris Johnson as saying Britain’s exit of the bloc was a “stunning success” and he wants to “bring this country together”.

The Daily Telegraph says Mr Johnson is “ramping up” pressure on Brussels ahead of trade talks by “preparing to impose full customs and borders on checks” on all goods imported from Europe.
