British parliament backs brexit

You're referring to the historic vote on January 31, 2020, when the British Parliament approved the Withdrawal Agreement Bill, paving the way for the United Kingdom's departure from the European Union (EU).

After years of debate and negotiations, the UK Parliament voted 330 to 231 in favor of the bill, which aimed to implement the terms of the Brexit withdrawal agreement negotiated by Prime Minister Boris Johnson's government. The agreement outlined the terms of the UK's departure from the EU, including a transition period and a new relationship between the two parties.

The vote marked a significant milestone in the Brexit process, as it cleared the way for the UK to leave the EU on January 31, 2020, at 11 pm GMT. The country then entered a transition period, which lasted until December 31, 2020, during which the UK and EU negotiated their future relationship.

The Brexit vote was a major development in British politics, with far-reaching implications for the country's economy, trade, and international relations. While the outcome was widely anticipated, it still sparked significant debate and controversy, with some arguing that the decision would have negative consequences for the UK's economy and relationships with its European partners.

In the end, the UK's departure from the EU marked a significant shift in the country's political landscape, with the government and Parliament now focused on negotiating new trade agreements and shaping the country's future relationship with the EU.
