The UK could “sleep-walk off the cliff edge” with no deal on exiting the EU if Theresa May’s plan is rejected next week and she does not call off Brexit, London mayor Sadiq Khan has warned. If that doesn’t happen, the next best thing is a people’s vote,” Mr Khan said after addressing a business audience in Dublin. Now we know what the terms of exiting the EU, either a bad deal or no deal whatsoever,” he told The Irish Times. “My worry is that we could sleep-walk off the cliff edge and leave the EU with no deal whatsoever. “It would stop the clock that is ticking towards a no deal Brexit and it would provide the breaking space to decide how we resolve this mess,” he said.
