  • businesses across the UK would "pay the price" of government inertia unless the cabinet stepped up preparations for no deal
  • also warned that leaving the EU in the run-up to Christmas would present significant additional challenges to avoid shortages over the festive season

This comes as PM hopeful Johnson says no deal is a million to one against.

Very flexible is BJ.
