Dr David Nicholl, consultant neurologist who took part in drafting Operation Yellowhammer, rings in to ask JRM what level of mortality rate he would be willing to accept in the event of a No Deal Brexit.
JRM says a doctor in his position should not be "fearmongering".
"I don't think there is any reason to suppose a No Deal Brexit should lead to (an increase) in the mortality rate.
"This is the worst excess of Project Fear."

Dr Nicholl: "Can I remind you I wrote the plans in mitigation?"
JRM: "Well, you didn't write very good plans if you hadn't worked out how to mitigate, had you?
"It's fortunate that they're being written by other people now who are serious about mitigating and not remoaners."
