When asked by Marr about whether stories about plans to stockpile food for a “No Deal” were correct, Brexit Secretary Raab said it was an unhelpful “selective snippet that’s made it into the press”... which suggests Yes
to make case for Chequers, Government needs to emphasise, believe, & warn on the impact of hard Brexit on factories, companies, and people (eg stockpiling).
But then in trying to claim No Deal is an option it then simultaneously has to downplay all the same.
Not sustainable.

Ie Govt post Chequers conceded a Canada-style free trade agreement too damaging for manufacturing (particularly cars, Airbus, Pharma) which need to maintain frictionless EU trade.
But No Deal [being prepared for] same as Canada (ie not frictionless) plus tariffs..no transition

Last time UK Government had to make plans to stockpile food as a result of the impact of its own policy?
