NHS to stockpile bodybags to cope with no-deal Brexit

“The Department is working with its partners across Government, in the health sector and in industry to prepare for any possible disruption in the supply chain.

“While this does not mean that we are expecting such disruption, the Government is preparing for all exit scenarios.

“These include sensible strategies for devices and consumables, including body bags, that come to the UK from or through the EU, such as precautionary stockpiling by suppliers, to ensure that the supply of essential products is not disrupted.”

Boris Johnson has said that the UK will leave the EU by the end of October no matter what.

The current British position is that the Irish backstop must be taken off the table.

The current EU position is that they will not renegotiate at all the deal Theresa May's government reached.

Therefore, we have a stalemate...

Good, prevent Parliament blocking a no deal Brexit.

This is good decision. The sooner the EU occupation over my country ends, the better. This a beautifully bold and decisive decision. Made my day.

The remoaners have broken all the conventions of our demoncracy to have a guerilla movement to stop Brexit. Now, brexiters must return the favour in the same coin to the remoaners...

hahah..
uk has become facist. buffoon is playing juvenile.
scotland hopefully will opt of the "kingdom" and uk will be a dot on the map with lot of control :p

The British prime minister has put his Brexit deal on hold, after losing a vote in parliament. MPs approved the Brexit agreement Boris Johnson brokered with the EU... but they rejected his plan to push the legislation through parliament in just three days. This makes it unlikely the UK will leave the EU as planned at the end of the month. And as Sarah Morice reports, the prime minister is now considering whether to follow through on his threat to call a snap election.

UK Government ‘failed to investigate’ Russian interference in Brexit

​

By | George Allison | July 21, 2020

The ‘Russia Report’ reveals that the government failed to investigate Russian meddling in the Brexit vote, only “belatedly realising” the threat from Moscow.

​

The report is the result of an 18-month investigation by the former Intelligence committee chaired by former Attorney General Dominic Grieve.

The report states that there have been widespread allegations that Russia sought to influence voters in the 2016 referendum on the UK’s membership of the EU: studies have pointed to the preponderance of pro-Brexit or anti-EU stories on RT and Sputnik, and the use of ‘bots’ and ‘trolls’, as evidence.

The actual impact of such attempts on the result itself would be difficult – if not impossible – to prove. However what is clear is that the Government was slow to recognise the existence of the threat – only understanding it after the ‘hack and leak’ operation against the Democratic National Committee, when it should have been seen as early as 2014.

As a result states the report, the Government did not take action to protect the UK’s process in 2016. The Committee added that it has not been provided with any post-referendum assessment – in stark contrast to the US response to reports of interference in the 2016 presidential election. They also say that there must be an analogous assessment of Russian interference in the EU referendum.

“What is clear is that Russian influence in the UK is ‘the new normal’: successive
Governments have welcomed the Russian oligarchy with open arms, and there are a lot of Russians with very close links to Putin who are well integrated into the UK business, political and social scene – in ‘Londongrad’ in particular. Yet few, if any, questions have been asked regarding the provenance of their considerable wealth and this ‘open door’ approach provided ideal mechanisms by which illicit finance could be recycled through the London ‘laundromat’. It is not just the oligarchs either – the arrival of Russian money has resulted in a growth industry of ‘enablers’: lawyers, accountants, and estate agents have all played a role, wittingly or unwittingly, and formed a “buffer” of Westerners who are de facto agents of the Russian state.”

The Intelligence and Security Committee of Parliament issued the following points as part of a press notice with the report.

• Russian influence in the UK is the new normal. Successive
  Governments have welcomed the oligarchs and their money with open
  arms, providing them with a means of recycling illicit finance through
  the London ‘laundromat’, and connections at the highest levels with
  access to UK companies and political figures.
• This has led to a growth industry of ‘enablers’ including lawyers,
  accountants, and estate agents who are – wittingly or unwittingly – de
  facto agents of the Russian state.
• It clearly demonstrates the inherent tension between the Government’s
  prosperity agenda and the need to protect national security. While we
  cannot now shut the stable door, greater powers and transparency are
  needed urgently.
• UK is clearly a target for Russian disinformation. While the mechanics
  of our paper-based voting system are largely sound, we cannot be
  complacent about a hostile state taking deliberate action with the aim of
  influencing our democratic processes.
• Yet the defence of those democratic processes has appeared
  something of a ‘hot potato’, with no one organisation considering itself
  to be in the lead, or apparently willing to conduct an assessment of
  such interference. This must change.
• Social media companies must take action and remove covert hostile
  state material: Government must ‘name and shame’ those who fail to
  act.
• We need other countries to step up with the UK and attach a cost to
  Putin’s actions. Salisbury must not be allowed to become the high water
  mark in international unity over the Russia threat.
• A number of issues addressed in this published version of the Russia
  Report are covered in more depth in the Classified Annex. We are not
  able to discuss these aspects on the grounds of national security.

The Intelligence and Security Committee of Parliament (ISC) is the committee of Parliament with statutory responsibility for oversight of the UK Intelligence Community. In its own words, Under the Justice and Security Act 2013 and the accompanying Memorandum of Understanding, the ISC oversees the policies, expenditure, administration and operations of MI5, MI6, GCHQ, Defence Intelligence, the Joint Intelligence Organisation, the National Security Secretariat (NSS) and the Office for Security and Counter-Terrorism.

The Committee sets its own agenda and work programme, taking evidence from Ministers, the Heads of the intelligence and security Agencies, senior officials, experts, and academics as it considers necessary.
