Government spin unspun

Michael Gove: “Operation Yellowhammer is . . . planning for absolutely the worst case in the event of a no-deal Brexit”
Sir Bob Kerslake, former head of the civil service: “The document is called a ‘base case’ assessment . . . [it is] the expected case drawn from assumptions of what is most likely to happen”

Gove: “This is an old document”
The document is dated early August 2019

Gove: “There’s no return to a hard border”
Yellowhammer: “The model of limited checks at an open border is likely to prove unsustainable because of economic, legal and biosecurity risks”
The prime minister’s spokeswoman: “We don’t comment on leaks”
Gove commented on Twitter on the leak last Sunday
