Forestry plans growing for Britain crashing out of EU

- BY ANDREW GREGORY Political Editor

THE Forestry Commission is the latest Government department to confirm it is preparing for Britain to quit the EU without a deal.

It joins bigger department­s such as the Home Office, the Treasury and the Department for Transport all planning for a hard Brexit.

Yesterday Labour’s Shadow Foreign Secretary Emily Thornberry warned the UK is “heading for No Deal” and Prime Minister Theresa May’s failure to control her party was a “serious threat” to Britain’s interests. Ms Thornberry said: “She doesn’t have the strength or the authority to be able to control her backbenche­rs, let alone her Cabinet.” Mrs May will update MPs today on the progress made at last week’s Brussels summit. Meanwhile, Spain has said UK expats living there will not be “disrupted’ even with a No Deal.
