BREAKING: EU have agreed a draft treaty, an ‘Orderly Withdrawal’ from European Union transition period of 21 months which ends on New Year’s Day 2020.

Key points agreed:

Transition period will end on New Year's Day 2020
UK can sign but not implement third-country trade deals until then
Northern Ireland to have 'full regulatory alignment' as 'backstop'
EU citizens who arrive before 2021 get same rights as those after Brexit
Britain only able to 'consult' on fishing rule changes
Joint committee to be set up to arbitrate on transition disputes
