She is. She was at the Home Office when the Windrush scandal started, and also the one who sent out the vans with Go Home, on them.

It seems to me that the number of leavers focusing on immigration issues is directly and inversely proportional to the chances of Brexit actually happening.

I'm sure that pasta has always told me it was all about parliamentary sovereignty

So just to clarify, on one hand we have the following organisations stating there is a real chance of a 'no deal' situation :

UK Government
Some UK MPs
The EU
The CBI
British Chambers of Commerce
Confederation of British Industry
EEF
Federation of Small Businesses
Institute of Directors
The BoE

And that list isn't exhaustive.

And then on the other hand we have some retired bloke on an internet football chat forum saying 'no deal' just isn't a possibility ....... despite BILLIONS being spent on the chance it is ?

Hmmmm ........ difficult one to know who to believe here ...... really, really difficult

The Times is reporting this morning that reforms to Social Care, among other policies, are being shelved to prepare for no deal. The DHSC have already diverted staff apparently.

Great.

Brexit: EU reveals no-deal plans

The European Commission says it has started to implement its preparations for a no-deal Brexit - in case the UK crashes out of the EU without a plan.
It has announced temporary measures to try to reduce the impact, but says it cannot counter all the problems it expects.

The commission's 14 measures cover legislation that will aim to ensure some continuity.

They address eight sectors, taking in issues such as transport and customs, data protection, animal health and plants, climate policy and key financial products.

Among other things, the measures would temporarily allow:

British airlines to operate flights into and out of the EU - but not within it
Hauliers to carry freight by road into the EU for a nine-month period without having to apply for permits
UK financial services regulations - in a limited number of areas - to be recognised as equivalent to the EU's for one or two years

...................

Visas will not be required for UK citizens to spend short periods in EU countries, the commission said.

For stays of over 90 days, a residence permit or a long-stay visa will be required.

Member states have been told to take all necessary legislative and administrative measures so that temporary residence documents can be issued by the withdrawal date.

UK citizens who have lived in an EU state for a period of more than five years must be granted, subject to certain conditions, long-term resident status, the commission said.

It's so nice of Kim to be arrogant enough to believe she knows what's best for the country and it's citizens. Normal Twatter rubbish.
