Brexit: Govt preparing to enter 'very high readiness mode' for no deal

The Ministry of Defence's Main Building in London's Whitehall, where a major project started that will see the complete demolition of its interior, which currently covers 1 million square feet and has 5km of corridors. * and before it has finished, will involve a petrol tanker's worth of paint, 3,600 doors and the installation of the equivalent of eight football pitches of carpets.

 Operation Redfold will direct some 3,500 military personnel who have been put on standby for a no-deal scenario.

 The armed forces have activated a team in a nuclear-proof bunker under the Ministry of Defence as the government prepares next Monday to enter "very high readiness mode" for a no-deal Brexit, Sky News can reveal.

Control of overall planning for the impact of the UK leaving the European Union without a withdrawal agreement next week shifts from the Cabinet Office to the government's emergency committee Cobra.
