In Britain, tensions are continuing to mount among leadership as the spectre of a “no-deal Brexit” looms. This is the leader of the opposition Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, during a parliamentary session Wednesday.

Jeremy Corbyn: “The prime minister has plunged this country into a national crisis. She refused Parliament the right to vote on her Brexit deal. She said that she did that to seek further assurances. She failed. She’s now claiming that she is still seeking further assurances, while all the time running down the clock on the alternatives. So, can the prime minister explain to us when the European Council will meet to approve the changes that they have already ruled out?”

Meanwhile, Britain and the European Commission say they are preparing for the possibility of a no-deal Brexit, which many fear will severely disrupt trade, travel and the flow of essential goods, including food and medicine. Britain is currently scheduled to exit the EU on March 29.
