I believe this is in case of civil unrest! It doesn’t take much for civil rights unrest to hit, especially if food is in short supply. Some may call me a fear monger but IMO it is a possibility

New Zealand say they are ready to do a trade deal with us as soon as we leave the eu.

We can't have signed a trade deal with Israel, petra. We can't sign any trade deals while we are still a member of the EU. Which we are until we leave.

Cabinet Minister Amber Rudd has told the BBC she is "committed to making sure we avoid" a no deal Brexit and would not rule out resigning over it.

The work and pensions secretary said she was "going to wait and see" whether the prime minister allowed MPs a free vote on potential options next week.

Labour MP Yvette Cooper has tabled an amendment to delay Brexit if no deal is reached by the end of February.

MPs heavily rejected the deal Theresa May agreed with the EU last week.

The UK is due to leave the EU at 23:00 GMT on 29 March and the prime minister has faced repeated calls to rule out the prospect of leaving without a deal, if no agreement can be reached.
