PM urges nation to seize the moment after complex legislation is rushed through both houses in one day
Boris Johnson’s Brexit trade deal with Brussels has passed into law after clearing parliament in a 14-hour parliamentary process that has radically redrawn the UK’s ties with Europe.
It was announced that the Queen had given approval to the European Union (future relationship) bill at 12.25am on Thursday morning. Her signature prevents a no-deal Brexit at 11pm on Thursday when the transition period ends.
