European Union leaders have unanimously backed a new Brexit deal with Britain, leaving Prime Minister Boris Johnson facing a battle to secure the UK Parliament's backing for the agreement if he is to take Britain out of Europe on Oct 31.
"On a more personal note, what I feel today is sadness," Tusk told reporters."Because in my heart, I will always be a remainer. And I hope that if our British friends decide to return one day, our door will always be open." The head of the main opposition Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, said he was"unhappy" with the agreement and would vote against it. Labour has said it wants any deal to be subject to a public vote, but as yet has not indicated whether it will back any move for a second referendum on Saturday.
"The PM's position is that it's new deal or no deal but no delay," said a senior British government official. Johnson spoke to the other EU leaders for about 30 minutes during his first - and possibly last - summit in Brussels. "The unity that we have seen in the last few years is a lesson to us for the future... something we take forward for future negotiations. Not just with the UK, but the US and China and Turkey and others."Negotiators worked frantically this week to agree a compromise on the question of the border between EU member Ireland and the British province of Northern Ireland, the most difficult part of Brexit.
