President of the European Council Donald Tusk today said if parliament rejects the draft agreement proposed by Theresa May the UK will face two options: no deal or no Brexit. Tusk warned renegotiation with the EU would not be an option if the Brexit deal was voted down on December 11. He said: "A few days before the vote in the House of Commons, it is becoming more and more clear that this deal is the best possible - in fact, the only possible one.
