• It's begun: Brexit deal has been approved by both parties

The 27 leaders had given the agreement their backing after less than an hour's discussion in Brussels this morning. The decision was agreed by consensus rather than formal vote.  However, the deal still needs approval from the UK Parliament, which is expected to vote on the deal towards the beginning of December. Approval from Parliament is by no means guaranteed, as many Laour, Lib Dem, SNP, DUP and Conservative MPs are believed to vote against the deal. Prime Minister Theresa May has appealed to the public to get behind the agreement, arguing it is the best deal she could have struck and honours the result of the Brexit referendum. The UK is scheduled to leave the EU on 29 March 2019. According to the BBC, the EU leaders approved the two key Brexit documents - the 585-page EU withdrawal agreement (which is a legally binding document that lays out the terms of the UK's exit from the EU) and the political declaration (which sets out what the relationship between the UK and the EU could be like after Brexit).

Still needs to go through UK parliament. Shat myself there for a minute.
and every other EU parliament.
Huh, I wonder what's in it that got the EU negotiators to agree so fast. "We will take back control of our borders, by putting an end to the free movement of people once and for all." Could you make it sound more sinister?
Well they haven't ruled out putting illegal immigrants in camps yet once they Brexit.
