With just 100 days until Brexit, UK ministers met on Dec. 18 to ramp up preparations for Britain’s potential “no-deal” crash-out of the European Union. No-deal means there would be no transition, so the exit, set in law as 2300 GMT on March 29, would be abrupt.
Preparations include setting aside space on ferries to ensure a regular flow of medical supplies and keeping 3,500 armed forces personnel ready to support the government with its contingency plans.
