“The EU is prepared for all eventualities, a no-deal Brexit is never the EU’s prefered scenario,” the spokeswoman added. “The EU sees no need for further measures to prepare for a no-deal Brexit.”
Earlier in the session, opposition Labour Party’s leader Jeremy Corbyn voiced his commitment to stop a no-deal Brexit.
