Divorce is a tragic moment, payments have to be made. The terms of britain's split from europe got a green light in brussels today. The treaty requires the UK to pay fifty billion dollars to the EU, allows citizens and newly divided zones to live and work where they are and keeps Northern Ireland's border open.

The fate of Britain and May's political career now hanging in the balance.
