Daily Brexit Update: Thursday 23rd August 2018

The government will be issuing its no-deal Brexit guidance starting today, with ministers saying it will deal with all the 'hair raising scare stories' the public has been subjected to recently.

"In a speech delivered as the advice documents are published, Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab is expected to say a good deal is in sight but 'we have a duty, as a responsible government, to plan for every eventuality'." Reports the BBC.

And the Guardian reports that the UK will not trigger a battle with Brussels if no deal is reached and the UK leaves on WTO terms. "Britain would take unilateral action in the event of a no-deal Brexit to keep trade and transport flowing freely, Dominic Raab will pledge." Says the 'paper.

But the shadow brexit secretary, Labour's Keir Starmer, says a no deal would be a catastrophe and that his party could back a nother EU referendum if the PM's Chequers based Brexit deal does not get through parliament.
