It appears that the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has entered a dew deal with the European Union over Brexit. Sources indicate that the deal came on the sidelines of a meeting in Brussels of EU leaders. Although the legal context of the deal isn’t yet clear, the British Prime Minister has already indicated via a tweet that the deal gives control back to the British.
