That means he must persuade members from across the house to support him, including labour rebels, ex conservatives, and brexiteers in his own party. The deal would see the uk pay around £33 billion pounds in a so called divorce bill when leaving. Eu and uk citizens will retain their residency and Social Security rights. And a transition period, during which time the uk would abide by the eus laws, would last at least, until the end of 2020. The agreement would see the whole of the uk leaving the eu customs union, but there would be customs checks on some goods entering into Northern Ireland from great britain. 0ur polit
