MPs approve EU-UK trade deal

Senior Political Correspondent

MPs have voted to back the post-Brexit trade deal agreed between the UK and the European Union with just 73 votes against, as the Government tries to rush the bill through parliament in a single day.

Opening the debate, Boris Johnson said the deal would “open a new chapter in our national story” –  while critics described it as “an act of economic vandalism”.
