   British people, also known as Britons, are the citizens or natives of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, British Overseas Territories, and Crown Dependencies.

Each of these regions has distinct cultures, accents, and languages, contributing to the diverse nature of British people. The official language of the British people is English, although other languages such as Welsh, Scots, Scottish Gaelic, and Irish are also spoken.

1. British people

   British people are citizens or natives of the United Kingdom, Crown Dependencies, British Overseas Territories, and their descendants. British nationality law governs modern British citizenship and nationality, which can be acquired, for instance, by descent from British nationals. When used in a historical context, British people refers to the ancient Britons, the indigenous inhabitants of Great Britain south of the Forth. Although early assertions of being British date from the Late Middle Ages, the creation of the unified Kingdom of Great Britain in 1707 triggered a sense of British national identity. The notion of Britishness was forged during the Napoleonic Wars between Britain and the First French Empire, and developed further during the Victorian era. The complex history of the formation of the United Kingdom created a "particular sense of nationhood and belonging" in Great Britain; Britishness became "superimposed on much older identities", of English, Scots and Welsh cultures, whose distinctiveness still resist notions of a homogenised British identity. Because of longstanding ethno-sectarian divisions, British identity in Northern Ireland is controversial, but it is held with strong conviction by unionists.

2. British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond:

   If we ca n’t get the commitments we need from our European partners on things like Britain being outside the commitment to ever-closer union, if we ca n’t get these things then as the prime minister has said, we rule nothing out, that’s why the package will have to be a robust, substantial and irreversible package of change with proper binding legal force.
