The British Government faced a backlash on Thursday after it was forced to publish documents warning that a no-deal Brexit could lead to civil unrest and shortages of food and medicines.
Boris Johnson, the British prime minister still insisted that Britain will still depart the European Union on October 31
The Government released “Operation Yellowhammer” papers which revealed that the preparedness for leaving the EU without an agreement will remain ‘at a low level’.
The documents disclosed that the MPs that voted for their release have warned against public unrest, community tension in a worst-case scenario and also, possible logjams in channel ports of supply.
Keir Starmer, the spokesperson for Labour’s Brexit said it is more important that parliament is recalled for an opportunity to scrutinise the document in order to take necessary steps to stop no deal.
However, a government source told AFP on Wednesday that “nothing is changing” until the case was concluded.
