Read our privacy policy Boris Johnson will claim to have achieved a “resolution” of decades-long clashes between the UK and the rest of Europe, when MPs back his Brexit trade and security bill in the Commons. “Namely, that we could trade and cooperate with our European neighbours on the closest terms of friendship and good will, whilst retaining sovereign control of our laws and our national destiny,” he will tell MPs. “What we sought was not a rupture but a resolution, a resolution of the old and vexed question of Britain’s political relations with Europe, which bedevilled our postwar history.” Mr Johnson will speak at the start of a rapid-fire five-hour debate, which many MPs have protested makes a mockery of trying to scrutinise a 1,254-page document – with the bill itself only published on Tuesday afternoon. Describing the trade agreement as “threadbare”, the Lib Dem leader, Sir Ed Davey, said: “It is clear that this is a bad deal that will make people's lives poorer, so the Liberal Democrats will vote against it.” Even before the parliament approves the bill, the prime minister will sign the treaty itself, which will be flown in from Brussels in an RAF plane, accompanied by UK and EU officials.
