Government officials have warned that a no-deal exit could clog ports, starve factories and disrupt supplies of food and medicine. A government publicity campaign will begin next week, as Parliament prepares to vote on Mrs. May’s withdrawal agreement, warning Britons of what to expect if the country leaves the European Union without a deal. The same survey found equally strong but opposing views among members of the Labour Party. Mr. Corbyn himself is a longstanding critic of the European Union, and has seemed reluctant to take that step. Among Labour members, 89 percent said they believed a no-deal Brexit would have a negative impact on the economy in the medium-to-long term.
