New ‘great’ Brexit deal agreed with EU: Boris Johnson

London: British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Thursday said that a new “great” Brexit deal has been reached with the European Union (EU).
In a tweet, Johnson said that the UK Parliament should approve the draft withdrawal agreement by Saturday (October 19).
“We’ve got a great new deal that takes back control — 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 #GetBrexitDone #TakeBackControl,” the British Prime Minister said.
The agreement was reached during a telephonic conversation between Johnson and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.
Echoing similar sentiments, Juncker said that the new Brexit deal is a “fair and balanced agreement”.
” Where there is a will, there is a #deal – we have one! It’s a fair and balanced agreement for the EU and the UK and it is a testament to our commitment to find solutions. I recommend that #EUCO endorses this deal,” he tweeted.
