Here's what happens next and whether Brexit might be STOPPED.
What's next for Britain and Brexit?
The country finally has a draft Brexit pact with the EU, but Prime Minister Theresa May isn't in the clear just yet.
She must first vault two more major hurdles – 27 EU leaders at a summit on November 25, and finally a vote in the House of Commons.
She could be thwarted at both stage, especially the last one.
MPs are threatening a mutiny over the Northern Ireland 'backstop', a customs backup plan that could leave the UK trapped in the grip of Brussels.
After months of very little to report things could now move very quickly in a frenetic round of diplomacy.
Here is the most likely timetable in the weeks and months ahead…
Sunday 25 November: An emergency EU summit with 27 other leaders in Brussels to sign off the deal.
This will be 'danger moment' number two for the Prime Minister, when she has to face down pro-EU leaders like Emmanuel Macron and Angela Merkel.
But it's likely she'll face more trouble at home than in Brussels, where EU officials have already spent months working out the detail.
Thursday 13 December: The next scheduled European Council summit.
This is the last chance saloon to agree a deal with the other EU leaders if no emergency summit is scheduled.
Already it's much later than the ideal date, which was meant to be October. Otherwise there won't be time to sign it off before Brexit Day.
Thursday 20 December: Before this date, there will be a vote in the UK Parliament on the deal.
MPs should get a vote on two elements – the withdrawal agreement (now done) and the "future framework" (not yet done).
This is 'danger moment' number three for Theresa May – and by far the worst one.
If any of the crunch moments will force her from office, it will be this one.
She will almost certainly have to resign or face a vote of no confidence.
She claims the UK will leave with No Deal anyway if she loses. But Labour say she should be forced back to the negotiating table; call a general election; or even trigger a second EU referendum.
