” Boris Is Behaving Like A Spoilt Brat” Say’s Labour Whilst Operation Yellowhammer Triggered

The Government’s Operation Yellowhammer contingency plan to handle a no-deal Brexit is being “triggered”, Michael Gove has said.

Gove who is in charge of preparations for a no-deal outcome said the risk of such a scenario had increased due to MPs forcing the Government to ask Brussels for another delay to the Brexit date.

Many Westminster observers viewed the move as a bid to increase pressure on MPs to back Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal.

The latest development comes as Mr Gove said: “Brexit will go ahead on October 31” a stance emphasised by Boris Johnson following his Commons defeat on Saturday.

 Labour has hit out at the way the Prime Minister distanced himself from a legally required request to the EU for a Brexit extension which he refused to sign.

Shadow chancellor John McDonnell accused Mr Johnson of “behaving a bit like a spoilt brat” over the issue and has said he believes the prime minister could be held in contempt of parliament over his behaviour.
