Suffolk's Conservatives were quick to welcome the deal between the UK and the EU after it was formally announced during the afternoon of Christmas Eve.
Work and Pensions secretary Therese Coffey, who represents Suffolk Coastal, tweeted: "Great news that UK and EU have agreed a mega free trade deal. Looking forward to Parliament voting it through before the end of the year." Accompanied by a picture issued by 10 Downing Street of Boris Johnson doing a thumbs-up in the cabinet room.
The same picture was used by Ipswich MP Tom Hunt and South Suffolk's James Cartlidge to accompany their welcomes for the deal.
