I don't actually get this question. I think it can be before and after, because in my country the shortest day is on the twenty-first of December. To me, this question is just a piece of harmless nonsense.

The first day of summer - on/about June 21 is the longest day and shortest night.
Britain experiences day and night due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis. As the Earth rotates, different parts of the planet are exposed to sunlight, causing day, and in darkness, causing night. This cycle of day and night is consistent across the entire planet, including Britain.
If you mean the longest: When you have the longest day, you'll also have the shortest night, and vice versa. In the northern hemisphere, the longest day is around June 21, and the shortest day is around December 21. In the southern hemisphere, it is the other way round.
