A woman takes a photo of spoof 'Bank of Brexitlies' 350m notes bearing the face of Prime Minister Boris Johnson and leading Brexiteer MP Jacob Rees-Mogg attached to a 'money tree' set up by anti-Brexit activists outside the Houses of Parliament in London, England, on January 7, 2020. During the 2016 EU referendum campaign Leavers falsely claimed that 350m was being sent to the EU each week, which could instead be spent on the National Health Service. The UK is set to leave the EU at 11pm on January 31, beginning a transition period running until the end of the year, in which time Prime Minister Boris Johnson has committed to concluding a post-Brexit trade deal with Brussels.

The Elizabeth Tower of the Houses of Parliament, shrouded in scaffolding for renovation works, in London, England, on January 7, 2020. MPs returned to Westminster today following the winter recess, with the government's Brexit bill topping the agenda and expected to clear the Commons (where the Conservative Party now holds an 80-seat majority) on Thursday. The so called Withdrawal Agreement Bill will then pass to the House of Lords for consideration there. The UK is set to leave the EU at 11pm on January 31, beginning a transition period running until the end of the year, in which time Prime Minister Boris Johnson has committed to concluding a post-Brexit trade deal with Brussels.
