Looks like BA and VS will be pressing the UK govt to reject the deal.

Probably not unexpected, but still a major obstacle; since the voting will not be by qualified majority, the deal could still be undone. The UK could, even if it were the only opponent of the deal, veto it for everyone else, with the result that the whole O/S process could be finished for years - certainly to the end of the current US administration. Of course, BA/VS would be very happy with this, which suggests that, really, the best course of action would be for the US and UK to do a deal under the supervision of the EU. Otherwise, we could be back and forth to this position for years to come.
