[PJMEDIA] Members of Parliament have just voted overwhelmingly to approve Prime Minister Boris Johnson

Brexit's approval was widely expected following the conservative victory in the UK election last week.

...Curses! Foiled again!...
s to get Brexit through Parliament since the country voted in favor of Brexit in 2016. May ultimately failed to get a deal through, and she resigned in May over her inability to broker a deal that could win a majority of Parliament.

According to the News Agency that Dare Not be Named, the departure of the UK from the EU "will open a new phase of Brexit, as Britannia and the EU race to strike new relationships for trade, security and host of other areas by the end of 2020."

Boris Johnson considered the vote a moment of closure. "The sorry story of the last 3 1/2 years will be at an end and we will be able to move forward together," Johnson said. "This is a time when we move on and discard the old labels of ’leave’ and ’remain.’ Now is the time to act together as one reinvigorated nation."

#5 They called Disraeli a fop, a toff, made fun of his literary manner, too. Last laugh was had by Dizzy, the great man. Same for BoJo.
