Brexit deal becomes UK law, paving way for EU departure next week



Boris Johnson's Brexit deal has officially become UK law, paving the way for the country to leave the EU next week.
The prime minister's Withdrawal Agreement Act was signed off by the Queen on Thursday after completing its journey through parliament.
Commons deputy speaker Nigel Evans announced the news to MPs on Thursday afternoon.

On 12 December, Mr Johnson won the Conservatives' best result since 1987 and returned to the Commons with an 80-strong majority.
He promised to "end the deadlock" in British politics by delivering Brexit.
