02:11UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that he was "very confident" that his new Brexit deal would be approved by the UK parliament, while speaking in Brussels on Thursday.
"I'm very confident that, when my colleagues in Parliament study this agreement, they will want to vote for it on Saturday and in succeeding days,” said Johnson. He added that there is no case for delay and "we should get on and get it done by October, the 31st."
He added that this is their chance to leave as one United Kingdom. “And what is means is that we in the UK can come out of the EU as one United Kingdom. England, Scotland, Whales, Northern Ireland together. And it means we can decide our future together, we can take back control - as the phrase goes - of our money, our borders, our laws together. And we will be able to do Free Trade Agreements around the world."
Earlier on Thursday, the European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker announced that a deal on Brexit had been reached with Johnson. Now, both the UK and the European Parliament need to vote on the deal for it to go in force.
Whether Johnson has the votes required for the deal to be approved is uncertain, as his government lacks a majority in the House of Commons and with the Democratic Unionist Party, which is in a confidence-and-supply agreement with Johnson's Conservatives, refusing to back the deal.
