Yesterday the scottish tory leader Ruth Davidson said she would not back his plans for a no deal brexit. Mrjohnsons visit comes as more details emerge of the governments brexit strategy. Three new committees have been formed to ensure the uk leaves the eu by the october deadline. Today the business organisation, the cbi, warned the government that neither the uk nor the eu is ready for a no deal brexit on october 31st. Heres our Political Correspondent jonathan blake. Days into thejob borisjohnson is on the road again, after visiting manchester and birmingham last week, the Prime Minister is going to scotland where he will announce £300 million worth of funding for local communities and argue for a renewal of ties that bind the United Kingdom as it prepares for a future outside the eu. Yesterday michael gove, the minister in charge of preparing for a no deal brexit, said that was now the governments number one priority. The Prime Minister will chair a new twice weekly meeting of senior government figures to oversee the uks exit. It is part of a new approach the government hopes will send a clear message about its promise to deliver brexit by the end of october, with or without a deal. It comes as the Business Group, the cbi, issues a new warning, that neither the uk or the eu is ready for a no deal brexit. The uk government is saying it is going to put a lot of time and energy and effort into preparing for no deal, that is the right thing to do. We want to see businesses doing that as well and the eu responding in kind but ultimately, we can avoid all of this. The leader of the scottish conservatives, Ruth Davidson, will make clear to borisjohnson when she meets him today that she cannot support leaving the eu without an agreement in place. The Prime Minister is also expected to meet the Scottish First minister Nicola Sturgeon who says leaving without a deal would be catastrophic. Jonathan blake, bbc news. In a moment well speak to our assistant Political Editor norman smith in westminster but first to glasgow and our Political Correspondent nick eardley. Borisjohnson is Boris Johnson is making borisjohnson is making these funding pledges and he has various meetings with political leaders in scotland. What kind of reception do you anticipate him getting from them . I think there could be quite a few heated discussions for the new Prime Minister today. The first one that will be difficult is with scotla nd that will be difficult is with scotland tos first minister, Nicola Sturgeon. Not a surprise she does not deal with agree with Boris Johnson when it comes to brexit. She thinks the no deal would be catastrophic for the economy and she has promised to do whatever she can to avoid it, potentially putting independence back on the agenda. You would normally expect a new tory leader to have a better reception in the Scottish Party up here but the relationship between the scottish and uk tories is probably at its worst point since the conservatives won power back in 2010. Ruth davidson was absolutely furious at the scottish secretary David Mundell being sacked in the cabinet cull that Boris Johnson being sacked in the cabinet cull that borisjohnson initiated last week. More importantly she is going to make it clear at that meeting with mrjohnson today that under no circumstances will she backed a no deal brexit. Boris johnson circumstances will she backed a no deal brexit. Borisjohnson saying that has to be an option and the government in london saying it is 110w government in london saying it is now the presumption. Ruth davidson saying clearly, whatever happens i am not getting on board with that. She is going to be part of that awkward squad of Senior Tories saying to mrjohnson, if you go for it no deal i am not on board. Boris johnsons argument is that we need to renew the bonds of the union between the various countries of the uk, pledging extra cash for scotland, wales and Northern Ireland, £300 million in all for various city growth deals. It is easier to make the argument for strengthening union but actually doing it, is a lot easier said than done. Thank you very much. Lets talk to our assistant Political Editor norman smith. We are hearing that the government is terrible charging preparations for a no deal. What is that going to involve 7 for a no deal. What is that going to involve . It involves an overhaul of the machinery of government which has ended up rather dilapidated under mrs may when it came to no deal planning. There was the idea there was a lack of drive and cash. Tea m there was a lack of drive and cash. Teamjohnson there was a lack of drive and cash. Team johnson has decided to strip everything back to just two committees, one committee which meets every day under michael gove which will be the nuts and bolts, the no deal Planning Committee which will meet in the same offices as the emergency committee. To convey the idea of a national priority. There will be a Second Committee which will be a Second Committee which will be a Second Committee which will be chaired by the Prime Minister and that will meet twice a week which will consist of the key players in cabinet and they will make the key brexit decisions. The idea is to give some real impetus and drive to the whole brexits process , and drive to the whole brexits process, not just to and drive to the whole brexits process, notjust to make sure the plans are better but to convince the eu that we are absolutely serious about the possibility of leaving without an agreement and that was the message from michael gove as he left for the meeting. We are going to do everything we can to make sure we can leave the European Union on october the 315t. There will not be any delays, we are determined to ensure we leave on october the 315t and it is myjob to make sure the country is ready. The difficulty is all these no deal preparations could hit the buffer if those mps at westminster opposed to no deal, get their act together and find a way of getting some sort of legislation which could block Boris Johnson from taking us out without an agreement. One of those leading the charge is Oliver Letwin and this was his view on the prospect of no deal. The whole of this sorry saga, from beginning to end, is about judgments and risks, and not about certainties. Nobody knows whether a no deal exit will be ok, not ok, very far from ok or very bad indeed. Thats the risk that some of us dont want to take. It might go ok, but obviously in the same way, nobody can tell whether we will be able to get a majority in parliament for some way of doing something other than having a no deal exit at the last moment if it turns out this government hasnt got a deal. Is no deal now definitely on the cards . Thejury is no deal now definitely on the cards . The jury is out on that, in pa rt cards . The jury is out on that, in part because mrjohnson himself seems to be coming under pressure from two camps, one side in the cabinet thinks an agreement is still obtainable and if they can get the eu to budge a bit then they could sell that package at westminster because they calculate a number of labour mps because they calculate a number of labourmps and because they calculate a number of labour mps and the supporting brexit constituencies would back a deal if it was put back to the commons for a fourth time. There is another group of ministers around mrjohnson who think there simply isnt the parliamentary time to get legislation through to put in place any sort of deal, even supposing the eu was prepared to come forward with some sort of compromise. Their view is cut to beaches, plan for it no deal, leave on what they are calling a managed no deal basis. What we dont really know is where does borisjohnson fit dont really know is where does Boris Johnson fit into dont really know is where does borisjohnson fit into this . Is he leaning more towards trying to get that agreement or does he think the game is basically up and he will have to go down the no deal route . We simply do not know at the moment. Thank you for that. Britains biggest Business Group, the confederation of british industry, is warning that neither the uk nor the rest of the European Union is ready for a no deal brexit on the 31st october. The cbi had previously said leaving the eu with a deal was essential to protect the economy and jobs. It has now published practical steps for the uk, the eu and Business Owners to help accelerate no deal preparations. Our business correspondent, dominic oconnell, told us more. This is a cbi assessment from the businesses point of view, the business worlds point of view, of what needs to be done. It is a very detailed list, 200 points referring to both the eu and the uk preparation, from fairly trivial things like the dates not having been changed and some of the technical guidance from april to the new leaving date of october the 31st, if it is a leaving date, to some quite serious things like all the sector groups that were meeting with government before april, right up to our leaving date, the end of april then, havent met since which is quite a worrying disclosure from the cbi. And everything in between, all sorts of things about tariffs, border arrangements, all that kind of stuff. But there is a bigger thing going on here, as you hinted at, a change in tone from the cbi which first campaigned for remain then it threw its weight behind theresa mays deal and now, this is the first time the cbi is actually engaged with the nuts and bolts of a no deal and talking about preparing for a no deal so it is a sign really that the cbi is thinking it is much more likely we will get a no deal brexit which is certainly in line with the borisjohnson government. The french Parent Company of the car maker vauxhall says it could move all production from its factory at Ellesmere Port in cheshire if brexit makes it unprofitable. More than a thousand workers are employed at the plant. Well our Consumer Affairs correspondent, Colletta Smith, is there for us. This is not the first time that the french Parent Company has talked about the impact of brexit on vauxhall will stop how seriously should we take this latest threat . What we are hearing is really more meat on the bones of what the Company Issued in a statement about four weeks ago, i was standing just here on the spot talking about the implications of what could have been and potentially is still a good announcement for workers here. The 1000 workers here at this plant. That is the Parent Company said they wa nted that is the Parent Company said they wanted to build the new model of the astra here in the uk at Ellesmere Port rather than at any of their other sites, particularly a plant in germany. Yet even at that stage four weeks ago they put an overarching concern over it saying it depends on what day of the uk government reaches when it comes to brexit. Now the boss of psa has told the Financial Times that the car maker has alternatives, that if there is any possibility that the Overall Company could be damaged financially because of a bad brexit deal or a no dealfor the uk because of a bad brexit deal or a no deal for the uk than the company would simply withdraw. That has big implications here at Ellesmere Port, they are a huge employer and in employer of high end jobs right across the north west. There is a supply chain factor two, lots of Companies Supply into this plant. At the moment the plant is on summer shutdown for a couple of weeks so we no workers here but lots of people will be very concerned as they start their Summer Holidays at this extra level of worry for the company and the future of the jobs. Thanks for that. Now, a new report by the think tank the institute for government warns that there is no such thing as a managed no deal brexit and that the hope for a clean break from the eu will not materialise. We can get more on that from one of the reports authors, joe owen is from the institute for government. He works on their brexit programme, leading the research into whitehalls preparation for exiting the European Union. Thanks so much for being with us, tell us a little bit more about what your main concerns are. |j tell us a little bit more about what your main concerns are. I think one of the things we wanted to draw out with this report is the idea that the 31st of october is the finish line after which the government can start focusing on things like housing and schools and broadband, which is the message you would be forgiven for forgetting if you are watching the recent leadership contest. That is probablyjust the start line. It is not settled, still u nsettled start line. It is not settled, still unsettled is what our trading relationship with europe, what our security relationship with europe would be, all of the domestic adjustments, both for government and business, here and on the continent, which all still need to happen. There would be a huge amount of work, more legislation required. It really is the end of the beginning rather than the finish line as some have presented it. Are you saying a clea n b rea k have presented it. Are you saying a clean break is impossible and effectively we could be in this no deal scenario for years to come . Legally it would be a clean break and that of the agreements governing oui and that of the agreements governing our relationship with the eu would be guillotined over at night but that would lead to very messy consequences here in trying to adapt to the new world as it would be. Yes, some areas will be working on this for years. You only have to look at things like universal credit, automatic pension enrolment, programmes that i think is fair to say are complicated but i know near the scale of a no deal brexit. This kind of programmes have lasted for over a decade so there will be worked on new systems and what happens at the border, where in some cases the government only has temporary plans and we have not got any sense of what their medium to long term plans are. This will carry on for months and months and possibly years areas. What you are saying is true, where does that leave Boris Johnsons saying is true, where does that leave borisjohnsons domestic agenda because he has been making ambitious promises in the last couple of days . It is likely brexit will crowd out the domestic agenda for any Prime Minister. Remember theresa may when she stood on the steps of downing street after being elected, talking about the burning injustices she wanted to tackle and the rest of the conservative party ma nifesto, the rest of the conservative party manifesto, it is hard to point to anything significant we have done over the last couple of years because of the all encompassing nature of brexit and that will be true any no deal circumstance. The Prime Minister has a limited amount of capacity and time, and a limited amount of political capital. It is very likely this Prime Minister in any future Prime Minister in a no deal brexit would be spending all of theirs on dealing with brexit. From your research, do you think the uk is more prepared for leaving the eu without an agreement or deal on october the 31st than when we were supposed to leave in march . Has there been six months of good preparations, so to speak . In some areas in government they have continued the work at pace, trying to build up readiness in key systems and processes but in other places, they stood down, all the big operational centres. Thousands of Civil Servants who were moved to no deal were moved back and that will happen again fresh over the coming months. One thing to point to in the report is the concern that the uk could end up being less ready in october than it was march and a big reason for this is the Business Community and the concerns that actual
