Boris Johnsons deal approved by Parliament

British MPs have tonight after a nine hour long debate for the first time voted in favour of a Brexit withdrawal bill. It happened when the Parliament, House of Commons, voted by 329 votes to 299 – a majority of 30 – to approve the Prime Minister’s Withdrawal Agreement Bill (WAB).

At the same time, just after this historic event, Commons voted down the Prime Minister’s timeplan to get the WAB aporoved in time for UK to leave in nine days on the 31 October.

Boris Johnson, who has delivered on making the EU open the previous Withdrawal Agreement, re-negotiated a deal, removed the backstop and secured a new deal with the EU27 in three months, can add winning Parliament approval for the deal to the list – but will now face difficulties for UK to leave the EU next week.

The Prime Minister announced that he will pause the WAB legal process, talk to the EU27 Heads of State and at the same time ramp up No Deal preparations. The Brexit saga continious.
