BBC News
Sky News as a backup to compare with the BBC
Politics.co.uk
Newspaper websites
Independent and Guardian for a 'remainy' point of view
FT is good for analysis but paywalled
Daily Mail for a 'leave' point of view and to read the fury 'below the line'
Irish Independent, Deutsche Welle and Die Welt for an EU view
Twitter
Mainly sketch writers, namely Michael Deacon (Telegraph) Marina Hyde (Guardian) Tom Peck (Independent - funny but super biased)
Lewis Goodall, Sky News is good
David Allen Green has been useful for legal analysis recently
David Gauke is my MP
General fact checking
Full fact is great!
Reality Check on the BBC website is good too
UK Parliament Library
EU websites including EUDRALEX for getting EU Directives and Treaties
Trading Economics for financial figures
There are many more but those are my basic 'go to' sources of info

Excellent list! I agree with with most of these. I would add some others:
Listening to Nick Ferrari for a honest Leave perspective and Maajid Nawaz for good analysis of both sides of arguments on LBC radio.
Google & Apple news aggregators are good for presenting headlines/views of the same event side by side.
I would also recommend visiting Europe itself and talking to people to get a view from outside our Brexit bubble.
