The European Union (EU) says much work still needs to be done on Brexit, despite agreeing a draft withdrawal document with the UK.
“We still have a long road ahead of us on both sides,” chief negotiator Michel Barnier said.
The EU has set out a series of meetings leading to one on November 25 where it plans to approve the Brexit agreement.
UK Prime Minister Theresa May has won the backing of her cabinet but faces a tough task getting the agreement approved by Parliament.
According to BBC News, a sign of that came this morning when Mr. Barnier’s UK counterpart, Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab, resigned saying he could not “in good conscience” support the agreement. He was one of four ministers to quit.
Mrs. May later defended the deal in the House of Commons, telling Members of Parliament (MPs) it delivered on the Brexit referendum and provided for an orderly withdrawal.
