Brexit: EU and UK reach deal but DUP refuses support
Johnson: This is a very good deal
Boris Johnson and EU leaders have hailed the deal they have struck to take the UK out of the bloc on 31 October in an "orderly" fashion.
The prime minister now faces a battle to get the deal through Parliament on Saturday, with the DUP opposing it.
DUP deputy leader Nigel Dodds accused Mr Johnson of being "too eager by far to get a deal at any cost".
European Council President Donald Tusk did not rule out an extension to the Brexit deadline if MPs rejected it.
EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker earlier said: "We have a deal so why should we have a prolongation."

But his Brussels colleagues have been more cautious, with Mr Tusk saying he would "consult" the leaders of EU member states about a possible extension if one was requested by the UK.
He said Boris Johnson's acceptance of customs checks at the point of entry into Northern Ireland, which the DUP objects to, had made a deal possible.
Mr Johnson has repeatedly insisted the UK will leave the EU on 31 October and he urged MPs to "come together" and "get this excellent deal over the line".
He added: "Now is the moment for us to get Brexit done and then together work on building our future partnership, which I think can be incredibly positive both for the UK and for the EU."
The EU and UK negotiating teams worked round-the-clock on the legal text of the deal, but it will still need the approval of both the UK and European parliaments.
In a statement, the Democratic Unionist Party, which the government relies on for support in key votes, said: "These proposals are not, in our view, beneficial to the economic well-being of Northern Ireland and they undermine the integrity of the Union."
The DUP deputy leader Nigel Dodds criticised Mr Johnson, telling BBC News: "If he'd held his nerve - and held out - he would, of course, have got better concessions which kept the integrity, both economic and constitutional, of the UK."
He said he expected a "massive vote" against Mr Johnson's deal on Saturday in the House of Commons - and the DUP expected to "play a crucial role" in amending the legislation.
Can Boris Johnson win the vote?
The winning post for votes in the House of Commons is 320 if everyone turns up - seven Sinn Fein MPs don't sit and the Speaker and three deputies don't vote.
There are currently 287 voting Conservative MPs. The prime minister needs to limit any rebellion among them.
Then, if the DUP won't support his deal, he'll need the backing of 23 former Conservative MPs who are currently independents. Most will probably support the deal, but not all.
That's still not quite enough, though, so the PM will also need the backing of some Labour MPs and ex-Labour independents. In March, when MPs voted on Theresa May's deal for the third time, five Labour MPs backed it, plus two ex-Labour independents.
This time it's likely to be a bit higher than that because several MPs have said they would now back a deal.
All this still leaves the vote very close. And it's possible some MPs could abstain, making it even harder to predict the outcome.
What is in the deal?
Most of the deal is the same as the one agreed by Theresa May last year - the main change is the Northern Ireland proposal.
The UK will continue to abide by EU rules until the end of 2020, and possibly longer, to allow businesses to adjust
The UK will still pay an estimated £33bn "divorce bill"
The rights of EU citizens living in the UK, and UK citizens in the EU, will be guaranteed
What's changed?
Northern Ireland will be aligned to the EU single market
The controversial "backstop" - that critics feared could have kept the UK in a customs union with the EU indefinitely - has been removed
Northern Ireland will instead remain a part of the UK's customs territory, so it will be included in any future trade deals struck by the government after Brexit
But Northern Ireland will also remain an entry point into the EU's customs zone. The UK will not apply tariffs to products entering Northern Ireland as long as they are not destined for onward transportation across the border
A joint EU/UK committee will decide which goods are at risk of entering the single market and the UK will collect EU tariffs on them on behalf of the EU
The Northern Ireland Assembly - which has been suspended since January 2017 - will get a vote every four years on whether to continue with the new trading arrangements
The decision would be based on a simple majority, rather than requiring a majority of both unionists and nationalists to support the rules in order for them to pass
