٠٠:٠٢:٤٠UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson welcomed a post-Brexit trade deal agreed between his government and the EU during a press conference in London on Thursday.
Speaking after lengthy negotiations, Johnson said the agreement, which is some 2,000 pages in length, was a 'comprehensive, Canada-style free trade deal.'
"We've taken back control of our laws and our destiny, we've taken back control of every jot and title of our regulation in a way that is complete and unfettered," he stressed.
The agreement still requires approval from the 27 remaining EU states, as well as the UK parliament, and will then be applied on a provisional basis from January 1, with the European Parliament set to vote on it in January 2021.
