<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>The new Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, who is in charge of no-deal preparations in the UK&#8217;s Cabinet Office, said there was a “very real prospect” that an agreement would not be struck with Brussels before the Halloween deadline.</p>
<p>Writing in The Sunday Times, he said that while the aim was still to leave with a deal, the Government needed to prepare for every eventuality.</p>
<p>“With a new prime minister, a new government, and a new clarity of mission, we will exit the EU on October 31. No ifs. No buts. No more delay. Brexit is happening,” he said.</p>

<p>“The EU’s leaders have, so far, said they will not change their approach — it’s the unreformed withdrawal agreement, take it or leave it,” he added.</p>
<p>“We still hope they will change their minds, but we must operate on the assumption that they will not.”</p>
<p>Mr Gove said the Government would do “everything in our power” to secure a good deal for the UK, but said simply presenting Theresa May’s Withdrawal Agreement to Parliament again would not be enough.</p>
<p>“You can’t just reheat the dish that’s been sent back and expect that will make it more palatable,” he wrote.</p>
<p>Planning for no deal was now a “number one priority”, he said, as the paper reported that Mr Johnson had put together a “war cabinet” of six key ministers to deliver Brexit by October 31 “by any means necessary”.</p>
<p>British Chancellor Sajid Javid has said there will be “significant extra funding” this week to get Britain “fully ready to leave” the EU on October 31, with or without a deal.</p>
<p>The additional spending will include financing one of the UK’s “biggest ever public information campaigns” to ensure individuals and businesses are ready for a no-deal exit, Mr Javid told the Sunday Telegraph.</p>

<p>“Under my leadership, the Treasury will have new priorities and will play its full role in helping to deliver Brexit,” he said.</p>
<p>“In my first day in office as Chancellor, I tasked officials to urgently identify where more money needs to be invested to get Britain fully ready to leave on October 31 – deal or no deal.”</p>

<p>He added that he planned to fund 500 new Border Force officers and look at new infrastructure around the country’s ports to minimise congestion and ensure goods can flow.</p>
<p>Labour’s shadow Brexit secretary Keir Starmer said he was working on a cross-party alliance to prevent a no-deal Brexit.</p>
<p>He told The Observer: “The political direction of travel under Boris Johnson is clear, and so it is more important than ever that we build a strong cross-party alliance to stop a no-deal Brexit.</p>
<p>“That work will intensify over the summer, before parliament resumes in September.”</p>
<p>Meanwhile, polls in the UK have suggested the Tories were boosted by a “Boris bounce” after the election of their new leader.</p>
<p>Since Mr Johnson became Prime Minister after being declared party chief by Tory members, the Conservatives have gained 10 points to stand at 30%, a survey by Deltapoll for the Mail on Sunday showed.</p>
<p>That puts them five points ahead of Labour at 25%, with the Liberal Democrats on 18% and the Brexit Party on 14%.</p>
<p>But if Labour was to drop Jeremy Corbyn as leader, the poll says the party would shoot into the lead at 34%, with the Tories on 28%, the Brexit Party on 14% and the Lib Dems on 13%.</p>
<p><!--Ads4--></p>
<p>The poll also found that opinion was evenly divided on the question of whether Mr Johnson’s partner Carrie Symonds should live with him at Number 10.</p>
<p>While 33% backed such a move, the same number were opposed to it.</p>
<p>Asked how they would feel if Mr Johnson married their daughter, 57% said they would be sad, while 16% said they would be happy.</p>
<p>The poll came as Mr Johnson set out an eye-catching domestic stall promising a £3.6 billion boost for left-behind towns.</p>
<p>He also pledged funding for a new rail link between Manchester and Leeds and promised action on housing and crime, despite insisting he was not preparing for a snap autumn election.</p>
