UK will face political, constitutional challenges to leave EU without deal: Gove

Britain would face political, economic and constitutional challenges to leaving the European Union without a deal on March 29, senior minister Michael Gove said on Wednesday. "There are also political challenges in leaving on March 29 without a deal... During the referendum campaign, we argued that we should leave with a deal," environment minister Gove said, adding that tens of thousands of businesses were not prepared for a no-deal exit.

He also said there were "significant constitutional challenges as well," and that a no-deal Brexit would make the situation in Northern Ireland uniquely difficult to sustain as there is no sitting executive in the province.
