LONDON, Dec. 20-- Lawmakers in Britain's House of Commons gave overwhelming backing Friday for Prime Minister Boris Johnson's re-shaped Brexit deal. By 358 votes to 234, a majority of 124, MPs voted in favor of the EU (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill, giving Johnson a clear run to end Britain's membership of the bloc on Jan. 31. Johnson, buoyed by the 80-seat majority he won in last week's general election opened a debate in the House of Commons, told MPs: "We come together as a new parliament to break the deadlock and finally to get Brexit done. Now is the moment, as we leave the European Union, to reunite our country." |
