Should probably add:
Although the WA still requires ratification by the EU member states, it’s by a qualified majority so should go through on their side.
The future trade agreement, however, requires unanimity and any member state can veto it. Good thing we’ve been very diplomatic over the last two years and burned no goodwill with Ireland, Spain, Germany, Poland.....
