Lawmakers approve Brexit bill, U.K. on course for January 31 exit

The comfortable majority won by Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservatives in an election last month secured the bill's passage despite the opposition of smaller parties..After passing through Parliament’s unelected House of Lords -- which can delay but not overturn the result in the Commons -- the bill should become law in time for the U.K. to leave the EU on the scheduled date of Jan. 31 and become the first nation ever to quit the bloc..

Thursday's vote was a major victory for Johnson, who has made delivering Brexit the key aim of his premiership. Britain voted narrowly to leave the EU in a 2016 referendum. But before the Dec. 12 election, lawmakers repeatedly defeated attempts by both Johnson and predecessor Theresa May to secure backing for their Brexit blueprints.

“We cannot expect to agree on every aspect of this new partnership,” Barnier said, adding “we are ready to do our best in the 11 months.” The EU says the U.K. won’t get good access to its market unless it agrees to alignment. EU officials worry that Britain plans to cut environmental and employment standards in order to position itself as a low-regulation, low-tax competitor to the bloc.

Yes they will have until Dec 2020 to figure out final deal if they can. But they leave EU with exit deal on Jan 31, 2020. Secret society signs say 330 approves vs 231 that disapproved the “BE ARE EX I TEA” - do you understand? - the EX can come back. CIA realDonaldTrump HGOHD

I wonder....will scores of talented young British people move out of the country?
