EU and UK reach agreement to put Brexit within Boris Johnson's grasp

LONDON - Negotiators from the United Kingdom reached an agreement with officials in Brussels on Thursday that could pave the way for Britain to finally break its 46-year-old ties to the European Union this month.

"We've got a great new deal that takes back control - now Parliament should get Brexit done on Saturday so we can move on to other priorities like the cost of living, the NHS , violent crime and our environment," Mr Johnson wrote on twitter. At the very least, businesses and travellers will be spared the inevitable disruption that would have been triggered by Britain crashing out of the bloc without a deal. For both sides, the agreement is a chance to move their political agendas on and to start focusing on their future trading relationship.
