U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson will rush his Brexit trade deal through Parliament in a day, confident it will be approved with ease after a prominent group of hard-liners in his Conservative Party said they will back the accord.
The main opposition Labour Party will also support the agreement, even though it has criticized it for being inadequate, because it says the alternative of crashing out of the European Union without one would be worse.
