Labour-Backing Areas: Trade Terms and Tory Victory

labour-backing areas: That could mean Britain leaving without a deal on trade terms at the start of 2021, a prospect that alarms many U.K. businesses, according to CTV. The pound plunged on the news, falling 1% to less than 1.32. Johnson's office said the government would insert a clause into its Withdrawal Agreement Bill -- which ratifies the country's departure from the EU -- to rule out extending Britain's trade negotiations with the EU beyond next year. Johnson's Conservatives won an 80-strong majority in Parliament in last week's general election -- the most decisive Tory victory since the 1980s -- as voters in formerly Labour-backing areas rallied to Johnson's promise to get Brexit done. Chairing his first post-election Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Johnson called the election result seismic and said his Conservative government would work flat out to repay voters' trust. The majority gives Johnson the ability to overcome opposition to his Brexit plans and implement his legislative agenda -- unlike his Conservative predecessor Theresa May, who led a minority administration and failed to win lawmakers' backing for her Brexit blueprint.
