BREAKING: The United Kingdom and European Union have agreed on a new Brexit deal, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced.
"We’ve got a great new deal that takes back control," he posted on Twitter,"now Parliament should get Brexit done on Saturday so we can move on to other priorities like the cost of living, the NHS, violent crime and our environment."
It remains unclear whether lawmakers will back the deal. The previous deal reached with EU leaders, negotiated by Johnson's predecessor Theresa May, was voted down three times by the House of Commons, forcing the UK to seek an extension to the original Brexit deadline of March 31 this year.
“From what we know, it seems the Prime Minister has negotiated an even worse deal than Theresa May’s, which was overwhelmingly rejected," he said in a statement."This sell out deal won’t bring the country together and should be rejected. The best way to get Brexit sorted is to give the people the final say in a public vote.”
