Britain has secured a good deal with the EU which ensures the whole UK is one customs union and should provide comfort to Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party, House of Commons leader Jacob Rees-Mogg says
BRUSSELS - European Union leaders unanimously backed a 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.” Johnson has no majority in the 650-seat parliament, and in practice needs at least 318 votes to get a deal ratified. The DUP have 10 votes. Parliament defeated a previous deal struck by Johnson’s predecessor, Theresa May, three times.
“The PM’s position is that it’s new deal or no deal but no delay,” said a senior British government official.
