Breaking: Prime Minister Boris Johnson insists he can seal a major new trade and security deal with the European Union in less than a year after his Brexit bill sailed through a key Westminster vote.
The existing economic, customs and migration relationship between the UK and EU will remain in place for one more year while both parties thrash out a new trading and security pact.
"This is the time when we move on and discard the old labels of 'Leave' and 'Remain'. In fact, the very words seem tired to me. As defunct as big-enders or little-enders, or Montagues and Capulets at the end of the play.Labour voted against the bill, arguing it did not protect British jobs and that parliament would not have enough say in the shape of new trading relations with the EU.
