Britain is stepping up preparations for a no-deal Brexit, Prime Minister Theresa May said on Monday after announcing a postponement of a crucial parliamentary vote on the Brexit agreement struck with EU leaders last month.

“For as long as we fail to agree a deal, the risk of an accidental no deal increases. So the government will step up its work in preparation for that potential outcome,” she told parliament.
