Q My passport expires in May 2020. We may have a European holiday in September/October 2019. With all of the uncertainty (still) surrounding Brexit, should I go ahead and renew my passport now or wait to see what happens? If I wait, will I get another EU passport or a British passport?

A Given the almighty shambles over Brexit, and the implications for travellers, your confusion is entirely understandable. Millions of pounds were spent by the government communicating not-always-coherent messages about the implications of Brexit, all of which were wasted when the UK did not leave the European Union in March or April.
