Brexit trade deal: MPs vote by huge majority for Boris Johnson's agreement

dailyrecord.co.uk:

trade deal with the EU cleared its first Commons hurdle after MPs gave it a second reading by 521 votes to 73 - a majority of 448.

The SNP challenged the vote but with such a huge majority for the bill now goes to the Lords for revision before being sent for Royal Assent later on Wednesday.Amid claims and counter-claim about “drinking pints of cold sick” and “steaming mugs of excrement” MPs swallowed the deal whole with the alternative being a no-deal Brexit in two days time.With Labour having said it would support the EU (Future Relationship) Bill in the division lobbies, the bill is expected to pass comfortably in both the Commons and the Lords.Keir Starmer said the agreement was flawed but the alternative of ending the transition period.
