Friday to mark historic Brexit as EU ratifies terms of UK's divorce from the bloc
British members of the European Parliament from the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats pose for a group picture wearing scarves depicting the European Union and the Union Jack flags at the Europa Building in Brussels on January 29, 2020.
This had already been signed by Brussels' top figures and had been sent to London for Prime Minister Boris Johnson to sign for the UK government. "He took us out of the Church of Rome, and we are leaving the Treaty of Rome," he said, referring to the EU's 1957 founding document. In the face of scepticism in EU capitals, Johnson insists he is optimistic that a comprehensive free trade deal can be reached before the next cliff-edge.
