LONDON - Britain will face shortages of fuel, food and medicine if it leaves the European Union without a transition deal, jamming ports and requiring a hard border in Ireland, official government documents leaked to the Sunday Times show.

They said up to 85% of trucks using the main channel crossings “may not be ready” for French customs, meaning disruption at ports would potentially last up to three months before the flow of traffic improves. “The file, marked “official-sensitive” — requiring security clearance on a “need to know” basis — is remarkable because it gives the most comprehensive assessment of the UK’s readiness for a no-deal Brexit.”

Johnson will this week tell French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel that the Westminster parliament cannot stop Brexit and a new deal must be agreed if Britain is to avoid leaving the EU without one.

90% of countries are not in EU, most of them don't face shortages. Why should UK?

God hates bigotry and racism, BREXIT!

Please report accurately. Quite sensibly in planning, this is the imagined worst possible case scenario. If actions are being taken to mitigate these outlier possibilities, far more likely & less problematic scenarios can easily be dealt with. The way reported here - Project Fear

Fake news

Yet we'll have an excess of 40,000 beef cattle ...

Self inflicted fuckery in the name of few wobbly dildos who bet heavily against British economy 🤷🏻‍♂️ BollocksToBrexit

you can imagine London, Manchester and Liverpool suddenly becoming like a war zone in Somalia: food shortages, no water, no drugs, hospitals closed 😀

we can stop eating parmegiano reggiano before we get an American supplement that is much tastier. NEXT!

The EU has bigger problems to deal with than Brexit...

yeah let em suffer. they voted for it.

'You have nothing to fear but fear itself' Churchill.

That’s for sure & another Black Wednesday on the cards with Far East currency speculators sharpening their knives for a Brexit Bonanza that will put George Soras billion pound profit to shame with Bank Repossession in the tens of thousands. What blind rage drives leavers daft?

their facing problems aren't just about these, London will also lose the position of financial hub' center.

BS.

Project fear is back 😂 brexit October 31st 🇬🇧

PROPAGANDA. FAKE NEWS. PROJECT FEAR!! PROPAGANDA. FAKE NEWS. PROJECT FEAR!! PROPAGANDA. FAKE NEWS. PROJECT FEAR!!

the lady on the picture is fat, less food is good for her health

Oh dear

So... the UK no-deal Brexit is like our (the US) Trump-admin Trade War....

Brexit is a manifestation of racism and xenophobia...period

Serves them right. Too bad for the smart Brits who are against Brexit.

Really? Restarting with fear mongering?

America 'We'd love to help, but we have our own assholes to deal with'

Elections matter. Consequences are real. Lessons sometimes require relearning and consequences are great teachers, at least for a while.

Didn’t they say the same thing about how everything will “fall apart” if the people voted to leave? Why should anyone believe them?

'UK Unsure Of How It Will Manage Independence.'

Trump should offer to buy Britain.

How and the queen got all that stolen shit in the castle.Shouldnt nobody go hungry!!!

She don't have a food shortage.

Nope.

No deal DOESN’T mean no trade!

I keep seeing “no deal “. If there is a deal, what is it?

Nah.. We got your back UK .. 🇺🇸🇬🇧

Rubbish

Rubbish.

all pure Project fear again!!

BuyAmerican and America needs to BuyGreenland

will no one think of the avocados !!

The Times re-runs a story from 2018, claiming that government worst-case scenario contingency plans represent the likely consequences of a no-deal exit. Scaring the electorate into a second referendum appears to be the objective.

FakeNews

Actions have consequences.

I’m sure everything will be just fine.
