Re: UK & EU Agree Post-Brexit Trade Deal

Boris Johnson's Brexit deal has been given royal assent by the Queen after MPs and Peers approved the Bill in Parliament on Wednesday.

The bill was fast-tracked through the House of Commons in just over four hours, despite protests from the SNP.

It then moved to the House of Lords where the legislation received an unopposed third reading by Peers.

The legislation was then given royal assent by the Queen at 12:25am on Thursday morning.

The 448 majority in the Commons comes after Labour MPs were whipped to vote in favour of the deal, with Sir Keir Starmer arguing a "thin deal" was better than a No Deal Brexit.

After receiving the Monarch's approval, it will take effect at 11pm on Thursday.
