The European Parliament votes overwhelmingly to approve the Brexit deal with London, clearing the final hurdle for Britain's departure from the EU. The vote at the parliament in Brussels passes by 621 to 49, prompting MEPs to burst into a chorus of "Auld Lang Syne", a traditional Scottish song of farewell. IMAGES
Images of the UK Parliament in London as MPs prepare for a momentous third vote on Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit divorce deal, which could end a months-long crisis or risk Britain crashing out of the EU in two weeks. The House of Commons has twice rejected May's withdrawal agreement, both times by large margins, but has been unable to agree any alternative -- and time is running out. IMAGES of the UK Parliament

Crowds gather outside parliament as ministers vote on the Brexit deal. With just over two months to go until the scheduled Brexit date of March 29, Britain is still bitterly divided over how and even whether it should split away from the EU. IMAGES of crowds with flags outside the UK parliament.
Brexit champion and leader of Reform UK Party Nigel Farage is announced to have won election to the UK parliament, in his eighth attempt, winning a seat for his upstart anti-immigration Reform UK party in Clacton. Farage's party appear to have split the Conservatives' right-wing vote, as exit polls predict a landslide victory for the Labour Party. IMAGES
