If the deal is defeated, the prime minister is obliged under British law to ask EU leaders to postpone Brexit beyond the current October 31 deadline for what would be the third time."We have a deal, and this deal means there is no need for any kind of prolongation," he told reporters – although the decision will be for EU leaders, not him.

The main opposition Labour, Scottish National and Liberal Democrat parties also spoke out against it. The new plan would keep the United Kingdom as a single customs territory, allowing it to strike international trade deals, but require London to levy EU tariffs on certain goods passing through Northern Ireland."There will be no border on the island of Ireland and the single market will be protected," Juncker said.
