next, this is a letter sent to environment secretary michael gove this week. totally focused on working to mitigate the catastrophic impact of a no—deal brexit." the uk government's own analysis says across 15 years any version of brexit will damage gdp, but by far the most damaging event would be leaving without an exit deal. it's notjust the uk though. this graphic from the new york times shows how other economies, notably france and germany, would also be exposed to the fall—out from a no—deal brexit. so there's pressure on both sides, but bear in mind for the eu, it's neverjust about numbers, it's about the endurance of an idea, and that changes the calculations. for the prime minister's side, she's always maintained no deal remains an option. and at the moment, she's not pushing this brexit stand—off to its conclusion with either mps or the eu. this is the leader of the opposition's reading of that. it appears the prime minister has just one real tactic. to run down the clock, hoping members of this house are blackmailed into supporting a deeply flawed de
