Nigel Farage has declared the “war is over” in a pre-emptive endorsement of the #BrexitDeal that the PM is expected to announce imminently https://t.co/7IiYbeSld1

It also restores Britain's sovereignty in full. EU law ceases to apply; the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice ends; there is no alignment with EU rules; and our Parliament sets all laws for our country once again.

CONFIRMED: No level playing field based on EU law.

We'll simply have "fair competition" similar to a standard FTA signed under WTO terms.

It's good to end a difficult year with some positive news. Trade deal is very welcome - and a vital step in building a new relationship with the EU as friends, neighbours and partners. Many congratulations to the UK negotiating team.

Very welcome news that the UK & EU have reached agreement on the terms of a deal - one that provides confidence to business and helps keep trade flowing. Looking forward to seeing the detail in the coming days.

Deal or no deal, there is not one thing that the EU has said or done over the past four and a half years that has ever made me doubt, even for a nano-second, that I made 100% the right decision in voting for Brexit in 2016. On the contrary, they've confirmed just how right I was. pic.twitter.com/2MMn1IbzBd

It does seem to fulfil pretty much all of what I wanted in terms of sovereignty so a cautious well done from me. The fish compromise is an issue however. I'm sure we'll have a clearer picture the next few days as more details emerge. That said, even the worst version of this is better than EU membership.

If Farage seems to be able to swallow it and if the ERG can after they have met to go through the details, then it is good enough for me.

Like we said back during the referendum, friends with Europe but not governed by Europe. It does look like we've taken back control.

Her Majesty's Official Opposition to vote for the UK-EU FTA meaning it will pass the House of Commons easily.

A lot of Remainers crying about ERASMUS but HM Government is to replace it with a scheme that not only applies to Europe (as with ERASMUS) but worldwide.

“On Erasmus, it was a tough decision”

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson says the government will replace Erasmus with “a UK scheme for students to go around the world, it will be called the Turing scheme... named after Alan Turing”https://t.co/athZpzGlEp pic.twitter.com/V0FQOzLzfh

Pretty glad they came to some sort of a deal for the UK in all fairness, couldn't imagine what the travel/food imports would be like without one.

Finally Borris has done something right for his country, there's a shock at christmas.

That's the EU27 to shortly be signed and we've also just signed FTAs with Moldova, Samoa and the Solomon Islands.

The ERG "Star Chamber" led by Sir Bill Cash have backed the UK-EU FTA.

Assuming all MPs vote, we're probably looking at 510+ MPs out of 650 voting for the trade deal tomorrow. An overwhelming majority.

BREAKING: The ERG star chamber led by Bill Cash has concluded that Boris Johnson's deal is "consistent with the restoration of UK sovereignty"

ERG officers have recommended their members vote for it, I'm told by a source in the meeting

Tory ERG Brexiter MPs will vote for @BorisJohnson’s free trade deal with the EU, they have just decided. Sir Bill Cash’s “star chamber” of Brexiter lawyers advised them that “the FTA is consistent with restoration of UK sovereignty” so...

Ironically this now leaves the SNP, a handful of Labour hardcore Remainers and Liberal Democrats de facto *for* No Deal. Lmao.
