British Prime Minister Boris Johnson[1] returned from Europe with a potential agreement for Brexit, but currently faces his own Parliament. Parliament must agree first, before a no-deal Brexit can be averted. According to the BBC:
The new deal is largely the same as the one agreed by Theresa May last year — but it removes the controversial backstop clause, which critics say could have kept the UK tied indefinitely to EU customs rules. Northern Ireland would remain in the UK's customs union under the new agreement, but there would also be customs checks on some goods passing through en route to Ireland and the EU single market.
The Prime Minister faces a deadline of Oct. 31 to get the agreement through Parliament, before the U.K. must ask the EU for an extension of the deadline. Several maneuvers by English members of Parliament, including an amendment[2] tabled by Sir Oliver Letwin, have ensured that no agreement may pass without the complete agreement of Parliament.
