British MPs have voted to proceed with the government's EU Withdrawal Bill by 358 to 234.

It's the first step in Boris Johnson's promise to take the UK out of the EU by the end of January.

The agreement also limits the Brexit transition period to 11 months.

MPs will be given time to scrutinise the legislation in more detail next month.
