BBC News says a government document has said if the UK leaves without a deal, the country is at risk of riots, food price rises and reduced medical supplies.

It outlines a series of “reasonable worst-case assumptions” for the impact of a no-deal Brexit on 31 October. Corbyn has said the document confirmed the PM “is prepared to punish those who can least afford it.” But, Michael Gove, who’s responsible for no-deal planning, said “revised assumptions” will be published “in due course alongside a document outlining the mitigations the government has put in place and intends to put in place.”

The disaster killed 72 people in June 2017. They believe former PM’s David Cameron and Theresa May should be interrogated about “why they failed to take meaningful actions” that could have prevented the fire.
