European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has announced that the UK and the EU have reached a "fair" deal after months of haggling. Prime Minister Boris Johnson is also set to make an announcement today just days before the transition period's end on January first. Reports suggest Mr Johnson is confident that he can win over Brexiteer MPs in the Conservative Party as the anti-EU European Research Group (ERG) turn to their lawyers to scrutinise the deal.
