Report reveals no-deal Brexit impact – here's what you need to know

Yesterday the UK government was forced to release a report describing the possible impact of the UK leaving the European Union without a deal at the end of October, which is looking increasingly possible. The plans had been codenamed Operation Yellowhammer.
Now it’s clear that civil servants, who are supposed to be impartial, expect there to be at least some harmful consequences of leaving the European Union without a deal. They predict that from day one the lorry flow rate through the Channel could roughly halve, for up to three months, with “significant disruption” for another three months.
In the past three years since the referendum nothing has been achieved. That was more than enough time to either make a deal, or prepare for a no-deal scenario, but nothing really happened. Except "we don't want that" replies to everything. So it's time for a hard cut, because then decisions have to be made.
