LABOUR has accused the government of “complacency, chaos and confusion” following the leak of a letter about its Brexit border preparations.

The letter from International Trade Secretary Liz Truss to Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove and Chancellor Rishi Sunak, sent last Wednesday, reveals that many questions remain unanswered, despite there being less than six months to go before the transition period in Britain’s EU withdrawal expires at the end of this year.

It also reveals serious concern among Cabinet ministers at the current lack of preparedness, Labour said.
