‘Doomsday’ Brexit plans put in place by Government

The Government is planning for a doomsday Brexit outcome which could result in job losses, emergency laws, budget changes and the grounding of flights to and from the UK.

All departments have been given until next week to outline what legislative and policy changes might be needed in the event of what is being called a ‘managed disorderly Brexit’.

The hope is an orderly Brexit can be agreed but the Government’s focus is to prepare for a ‘cliff-edge’ scenario where there would be no new trade deal between the UK and the EU.
