With no major surprises, UK House of Lords approved the Brexit trade deal during early Thursday in Asia.
“Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s post-Brexit trade deal won approval from the UK Parliament barely 24 hours before the country’s final split from the European Union,” said Bloomberg.
The agreement earlier crossed the House of Commons with 521 votes in favor against 73 opposing it. It should be noted that the Scottish National Party (SNP) is against the bills while stating, per Bloomberg, “ It will harm Scotland’s fishing industry, and told Johnson it will bolster the case for independence.”
