Brexit: No-deal opponents defeat government

[Cleoriff]

Tory rebels and opposition MPs have defeated the government in the first stage of their attempt to pass a law designed to prevent a no-deal Brexit.

I've just heard the airlines plan to move their fleets to French airports in the event of no deal, except Ryanair who are currently haggling with a French farmer somewhere miles away from anywhere because it's cheaper.
