heresa May has suggested the public should take “comfort” from Government plans to stockpile medicines and food for a “no deal” Brexit as she said “we don’t know what the outcome is going to be”.

Critics have accused ministers of trying to scare MPs into backing Mrs May’s Brexit vision with talk of hoarding essential supplies, but Mrs May said such precautions were only “responsible and sensible”.

However, Ireland’s Deputy Prime Minister accused Mrs May of “bravado”, insisting Britain “cannot afford” to crash out of the EU.
