The British Prime Minister has rejoiced in the signing of a long-awaited trade deal between the world’s sixth largest economy and the 27-nation European bloc.

Speaking from Downing Street on Christmas Eve, UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson praised the work of the “brilliant” negotiating teams who had secured a trade deal between the EU and UK.

Johnson said that the UK had agreed on 58 free trade deals with nations around the world but asserted, “I pleased to say that we have completed the biggest trade deal yet, worth 660 billion pounds a year, a comprehensive Canada-style free trade deal between the UK and the EU.” 

The PM claimed that the deal would protect jobs by allowing British goods and services to be sold in the EU without tariffs and quotas. Johnson said the government has now delivered on the thing that the British people had overwhelmingly voted for, proclaiming, “we have taken back control of laws and our destiny.”
