‘We’ve Got a Great New Deal’: Brexit Treaty Agreed by Boris Johnson and EU

Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that a new Brexit deal has been brokered between the UK and the EU.
18:00 UPDATE — Johnson confirms EU leaders have approved the deal, and says it is time for people and parliamentarians to come together and “get this done”
Addressing a press conference in Brussels on Thursday night, Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed: “The European Council has approved the agreement that’s been negotiated over the last couple of months and I thank them again for their work.”
The prime minister emphasised that he believed the deal was a good deal, saying: “I want to stress that this is a great deal for our country, for the UK, I believe it’s a very good deal for our friends in the EU.
“What it means is we in the UK can come out of the EU as one United Kingdom: England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, together. It means we can decide our future together, we can take back control of our money, our borders, and our laws, together, and we will be able to do free trade agreements around the world. We can also build, after three-and-a-half years, our relations with our friends and partners in the EU.”
On the upcoming vote in the House of Commons this weekend, Mr Johnson said: “I have every confidence that when my colleagues in parliament study this agreement, that they will want to vote for it on Saturday and in succeeding days.
“This is our chance in the UK, as democrats, to get Brexit done and come out on October 31st. This is our chance to focus on our priorities and the people’s priorities: the NHS, putting 20,000 police on the streets, lifting up funding of education across the country, the biggest expansion of living wage. Those are things I think the people of this country want us to be focusing on in addition to Brexit.”
He concluded: “We’ve been at this now for three-and-a-half years and it hasn’t always been an easy experience for the UK. It’s been long, it’s been painful, it’s been divisive. And now is the moment for us as a country to come together, now is the moment for our parliamentarians to come together and get this done to begin building a new and progressive partnership with our EU friends and with whom, of course, we share so many priorities.”
