Not far off from finally making some decisions on Brexit and it appears that large chunks of the Tory Party really believe leaving with no deal is a good idea. This presumably is that they just can't bring themselves to believe all the warnings about food and medical shortages, the break down of institutions and so on. they prefer to believe Peter Lilley.
I however, think that the warnings are fundamentally sound, and that any government/political party stupid enough to go for no deal would be committing political suicide. Once there were food shortages, those who had been insisting on no deal would quickly accuse the government of betrayal.
That is why I think that the whole thing will lead to an extension of the Article 50 notice and a new referendum.
Here is a recent House of Commons Library take on the no deal scenario.
