Johnson Tells Civil Servants to Make Preparing for No-Deal Brexit ‘Top Priority’

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has written to civil servants telling them to make preparations for a no-deal Brexit “top priority”.
Mr Johnson wrote a letter, published in The Telegraph, to the country’s some-400,000 career bureaucrats telling them:”My approach to Brexit is simple, and I want you to be in no doubt about it.”

“I would very much prefer to leave with a deal – one that must abolish the anti-democratic Irish backstop, which has unacceptable consequences for our country.

“But I recognise this may not happen. That is why preparing urgently and rapidly for the possibility of an exit without a deal will be my top priority, and it will be the top priority for the Civil Service too,” Prime Minister Johnson said.

The move is a departure from that of his predecessor Theresa May, who upon postponing Brexit from the March 29th scheduled date after failing three times to pass her EU-approved Brexit treaty instructed her team to wind down no-deal planning in April 2019.
