British MPs give preliminary approval to Johnson’s Brexit deal

LONDON — British MPs give preliminary approval to Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal in a landmark vote today, but the prime minister immediately faces another crucial vote that could derail his plans to leave on October 31.

MPs vote by a majority of 30 in favor of the deal, the first time this year they have backed any kind of agreement for leaving the European Union, although Johnson faces a tougher task in getting them to approve his timetable for the final passage of the bill.
