Did Big Ben bong for Brexit? Row erupts after famous bell rang out

A row has today erupted over whether Big Ben bonged for Brexit - on the day the UK took a giant step towards exiting the EU. A Tory MP today sparked the Twitter row by claiming the famous bell, which has been mostly quiet since renovation works began in 2017, rang out to mark Britain s historic trade deal with the EU. The trade agreement, which looks set to come into force on January 1, is being debated in Parliament today. MPs this afternoon voted 521 votes to 73 in favour of the deal.  But the Brexit bell claim has been knocked back by some, who instead say it was preparation for New Year s Eve.
