The reality is that his lies are in a different league, which is why The Times sacked him. They may work successfully for a short campaign like Brexit but in the medium and long term, they tarnish your reputation. How can you negotiate with someone who's inherently untrustworthy?

I wonder what the Government is basing its planning and mitigating actions on, then?

Having been involved in very many risk assessment/mitigation efforts, you assess what the upcoming scenarios are, what are the risks arising from these scenarios, score these risks/issues by likelihood and impact, and agree what mitigating actions/plans can/need to be put in place to reduce/remove the negative impacts - if Yellowhammer is not being used for these purposes, what is it being used for, and what planning/impact assessments/likely scenarios are being used?
I'm not sure that I would trust Michael "Pinnochio" Gove these days. He's been taking honesty lessons from his boss.

A good day for democracy.

The government is defeated on Dominic Grieve’s humble address, which calls on ministers to publish corrrespondence over suspending Parliament, and no-deal Brexit planning papers.
The vote passes by 311 to 302 - a majority of nine.
