On 22 October, UK parliament approved the Brexit bill in principle but voted to have more time to scrutinise the divorce deal, prompting Boris Johnson to pause the legislation.

The British Parliament votes for UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson's proposal to hold early general elections on 12 December.
