UK's Johnson agrees to Brexit deal, but must now win over parliament

BRUSSELS - European Union leaders unanimously backed a new Brexit deal with Britain on Thursday, 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 U.S. 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.

How did Boris Johnson become Prime Minister? Gotta love the British Democratic system. And they have the nerves to tamper with our elections.

The Queen has spoken ... it will pass... I think...

Well, actually winning post for votes in the House of Commons is 320 if everyone turns up - seven Sinn Fein MPs do not sit and the Speaker and three deputies do not vote

lol. was unfair until queen's decree
