The Guardian marks Brexit decade with interactive quiz
Interactive feature references Theresa May and Boris Johnson, while noting the current status of key political figures.
The Guardian has published an interactive quiz to mark the 10th anniversary of the United Kingdom’s Brexit referendum. Released on 23 June 2026, the feature invites readers to recall specific details from the 2016 campaign and the subsequent years of negotiation.
The article, titled "Blue passports, Big Ben and Bpoplive: the Brexit referendum anniversary quiz", poses 18 questions regarding the political events of the era. It references prominent figures such as Theresa May and Boris Johnson, asking readers to recall specific anecdotes including social media interactions and public statements made during the campaign period.
The publication explicitly states that the content is provided for entertainment purposes only and offers no prizes. It also includes a disclaimer inviting readers to contact the newsroom if they identify errors in the questions or answers, while suggesting alternative viewing options for those seeking a broader historical overview.
In its accompanying commentary, The Guardian notes that opinions remain divided on the outcome of the referendum. The article observes that several of the key architects of the Brexit campaign are now enjoying retirements, either through paid speaking engagements or by holding seats in the House of Lords.
The quiz serves as a cultural touchstone a decade after the British public voted to leave the European Union. By focusing on the "weirder aspects" of the political timeline, the feature highlights the enduring public interest in the specific details that shaped the UK’s departure from the EU.
