U.K. And The EU Agree To A Brexit Deal -- News Roundup October 17, 2019

Daily Mail: Checkmate for Remainers? EU leaders AGREE Boris Johnson's Brexit deal after Jean-Claude Juncker said there will be NO extension beyond Oct 31st if MPs reject it - leaving anti-No Deal rebels backed into a corner

 * Boris Johnson and Jean-Claude Juncker dramatically announce that the UK and EU have agreed a new deal
 * Brexit divorce agreement was then formally approved by European leaders this evening at summit in Brussels
 * But PM's DUP partners condemned new package saying the customs and consent plans are unacceptable
 * The proposals would see Northern Ireland legally stay in UK but be practically aligned with EU customs union
 * The DUP have resisted massive pressure from the government to fall into line with the new arrangements
 * Mr Johnson will ask MPs to vote for deal at 'Super Saturday' sitting in the House of Commons this weekend
 * But without the DUP's support his path to securing a majority among MPs appears extremely difficult

Boris Johnson was triumphant in Brussels tonight as the EU agreed to his new Brexit deal - and Jean-Claude Juncker backed Remainers into a corner by suggesting that the bloc will not agree to any further delay.

The European commission chief hinted that leaders will refuse another extension, a prospect that could checkmate pro-EU MPs by neutralising their law designed to block No Deal.

Mr Juncker, the European Commission president, turned up the heat on critics of the PM's newly-sealed agreement by indicating a crunch Commons vote on Saturday will be a stark choice between signing it off or crashing out.
