UK PM May says no-deal Brexit planning continues - spokesman
British Prime Minister Theresa May has said the government will continue to plan for the possibility of a no-deal Brexit, Reuters reports, citing her spokesman.
May made the comment in an internal note to staff.
The European Union last week delayed Brexit until the end of October, averting, for now at least, the risk of an abrupt British departure from the bloc which investors fear would hurt the economy.
May’s spokesman also told reporters on Monday that the prime minister was not thinking about calling an early national election as a way to break the Brexit impasse in parliament.
