Boris Johnson on Thursday (AEDT) said that "history has been made" after MPs voted overwhelmingly in favour of triggering Brexit negotiations and beginning the process of leaving the EU.
The UK Foreign Secretary called it a "momentous" night as MPs voted four to one in favour of triggering Article 50. Kenneth Clarke, a former chancellor, was the only Tory MP to oppose it.
