UK Prime Minister Theresa May has given a major speech calling for a clean break from the EU:
Theresa May has said the UK "cannot possibly" remain within the European single market, as staying in it would mean "not leaving the EU at all". But the prime minister promised to push for the "greatest possible" access to the single market following Brexit. In a long-awaited speech, she also announced Parliament would get a vote on the final deal agreed between the UK and the European Union. And Mrs May promised an end to "vast contributions" to the European Union.

The "great" in Great Britain refers to the greater British Isles, i.e. the bit containing England, Scotland and Wales. Technically it doesn't include Northern Ireland, or most of our other various territories.
So given that Scotland is quite likely to have another independence referendum, and somewhat likely to leave the United Kingdom, it won't really be Great Britain any more.
Gibraltar is completely fucked too, not that anyone seems to care or bother to mention.
