UK MP Boris Johnson’s tweets today confirmed he will vote for the Withdrawal Agreement even if it’s “very painful”. Ans in short, “a bad deal that we have a chance to improve in the next stage of negotiations must be better than those alternatives” of “worse version of Brexit or losing Brexit altogether.”
Attorney General Geoffrey Cox said in the Brexit debates in the Commons that any Brexit deal will require Withdrawal Agreement to be approved today. And it’s the last chance for MPs to secure UK’s “legal right” to an Article 50 extension until May 22.
Cox also said the government will agree to legislate to ensure MPs can vote to set the negotiating mandate for the next phase of the Brexit talks. Some MPs indeed see the next phase of trade agreement and future relationship as the most important.
