«Breaking News» Hammond to unlock £2billion in no deal funding

Philip Hammond will unlock £2billion for no deal preparations this week as Theresa May makes little progress toward getting her deal agreed by MPs

Philip Hammond will unlock £2billion for no deal preparations this week as Theresa May makes little progress toward getting her deal agreed by MPs.

The Prime Minister will tomorrow report back to MPs on the failure of last week's EU summit to create the necessary legal assurances to calm rebels.

On Tuesday the Cabinet is due to discuss the details of no deal preparations with less than four months until exit day.

The Chancellor will invite ministers to bid for a slice of the funding to get their departments ready for the prospect of exit without a transition period on March 29.

The Sun said around £500million is expected to be ploughed into the Home Office to deal with potential problems at the border.

Customs systems are set to benefit from another £25million in a bid to ensure the ports can function in no deal. 

Environment Secretary Michael Gove is set to have £400million to spend on agriculture, fisheries and food-related policy areas.

Trade Secretary Liam Fox will spend £100million hiring trade negotiators around the world in case a raft of new trade deals are needed urgently.

Ahead of Tuesday's crunch meeting, Cabinet ministers are at war as to whether there should be another Brexit referendum - or whether the Prime Minister should be making 'No Deal' a top priority.

High-profile ministers including David Gauke, Amber Rudd, Greg Clarke, and Theresa May's unofficial deputy David Lidington have all stepped up discussions on whether to offer another public vote on Brexit.

Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt insisted today the UK will 'flourish and prosper' even without a Brexit deal

Among those urging the Prime Minister to boost preparations for a no deal include Home Secretary Sajid Javid, Treasury Chief Secretary Liz Truss, Commons Leader Andrea Leadsom and International Development Secretary Penny Mordaunt. 

Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt insisted today the UK will 'flourish and prosper' even without a Brexit deal. 

Mr Hunt told The Sunday Telegraph: 'I've always thought that even in a no-deal situation this is a great country, we'll find a way to flourish and prosper. We've faced much bigger challenges in our history.

'But we shouldn't pretend that there wouldn't be disruption, there wouldn't be risk, and there wouldn't be impact and that's why as a responsible Government we have to make all the preparations necessary.'

Top minister hints he could quit over no deal

The Justice Secretary warned the Prime Minister he could quit Cabinet if the Government abandons hopes of a Brexit deal.

David Gauke warned a 'conscious' decision to abandon talks with Brussels was the wrong call.

He is among a series of ministers bitterly opposed to the idea - despite admitting contingency plans were necessary in case of an accidental no deal. 

The Cabinet will discuss no deal preparations on Tuesday. 

Mr Gauke told the FT: 'I couldn't support a conscious decision to crash out at the end of March and I don't think there are many who could.'

The minister said it was 'sensible' to draw up contingency plans in case no deal is reached, but warned 'fantasy options' will cause 'real pain' for British people.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
