A post-Brexit trade deal thrashed out between Britain and the European Union, has been voted in favour by the United Kingdom\u2019s Parliament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agreement which now puts into law the deal on a new relationship agreed<\/a> between the 27-nation EU and the UK last week, was sanctioned on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It now paves the way for an orderly and historic exit from the EU which is expected to come into force on January 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MPs in the lower chamber House of Commons voted 521 to 73 in favour of the EU (Future Relationship) Bill on Wednesday, a day before the UK severs ties with the bloc as the Brexit transition period comes to an end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd there\u2019s still a kind of uncertainty regarding whether this is about Britain retreating from the world and pulling up the drawbridge or becoming an international player in the broader sense and becoming a \u2018global Britain\u2019,\u201d he added<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
