Boris Johnson asks Queen to suspend UK Parliament ahead of Brexit: Live updates - CNN

British businesses are struggling to make sense of the events taking place in Westminster.

Companies across the country are desperately waiting for clarity on what will happen after Brexit. Will they be able to continue trading across the European Union? Hire foreign workers from other EU states? Will they face new red tape? And how will regulation change?

Lobby groups have been asking these questions since the vote to leave the bloc in 2016, but have not been given concrete answers. The urgency is growing -- with Brexit just weeks away, companies need to put plans in place.

“Businesses feel like Westminster is playing an endless game of political chess, while their futures and the health of the UK economy hang in the balance," said Adam Marshall, the director general of the British Chambers of Commerce.

Out in the real world, continuing political turbulence is taking a toll on contracts, on investment decisions, and on business confidence. Three years on, the damage continues.
