'Get Brexit Done' was the slogan that helped lead the Tories to an election victory - but how will that be achieved?

It's the pressing task now facing government, but what might Brexit actually look like and how long could it take?

David Aaronovitch considers the political and economic pros and cons of the different kinds of trading arrangements the UK and EU might end up with.
