UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Brexit deal has officially become UK law, paving the way for the country to leave the EU next week. The prime minister's Withdrawal Agreement Act was signed off by the Queen on Thursday after completing its journey through parliament.
Tory backbenchers welcomed the announcement, with tweets such as "it is done" and "promise made, promise delivered". But pro-EU politicians were less pleased, Labour MP Rachael Maskell said the deal should have been "put to the people for a final say" and the Greens' Caroline Lucas called it "a moment of huge regret".
