BREAKING: Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Brexit bill has passed its first hurdle, with UK lawmakers voting by 358 to 234 to back it. The vote sets the country on a path to split from the EU on January 31.
Johnson's withdrawal agreement sailed through its first obstacle in the House of Commons Friday on a mostly partisan vote, eight days after the Conservative leader comfortably won a general election on a simple promise to"get Brexit done."It means the UK will split from the block on January 31, when a transition period kicks in that will give both sides 11 months to agree on their future relationship.
"The bill ensures that the implementation period must end on 31st of December next year with no possibility of an extension," he said, adding a trade deal would include"no alignment on EU rules." He also said the UK will crack down on unskilled immigration, with a new points-based system.
