Good morning on the tenth anniversary of Brexit.

Tenth!

Time flies when you are having fun, I guess.

There will be plenty of commentary, but here, at the Guardian, we have gone back to the people who spoke to us 10 years ago with their first reaction after the vote.

Here are their comments. Spoiler alert: it also includes, erm, me.

I will bring you some of the best stories and analyses from our Brexit: ten years ago catalogue throughout the day.

But we also have plenty of other topics to cover in contemporary European politics.

Leaders of the Visegrad Four – the regional grouping of Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia – are meeting in Hungary to revive the group after years of disagreements under Viktor Orbán’s rule.

We are also expecting to hear from the Czech president Petr Pavel this morning as he is due to respond to the Czech government’s decision to block him from attending the Nato summit in Ankara next month.

And there are also continuing heatwaves across the continent, with Jamie Grierson covering the latest for the UK and parts of Europe.

Lots to cover today.

It’s Tuesday, 23 June 2026, it’s Jakub Krupa here, and this is Europe Live.

Good morning.
