Nah, they're just blustering. Nobody would be crazy enough to let the UK crash out with no deal.

Err... I hope...

Last I heard, other MPs so keen to make sure that the UK wouldn't go for No Deal, they were threatening to make sure that the government couldn't get the changes to law required to make it possible through: https://twitter.com/TomMcTague/status/1061897525467234304

Of course, this doesn't stop No Deal from happening, because it happens automatically on March 29th unless something changes... but it does ensure that it will be a complete and utter shitshow which will naturally be blamed entirely on Brexit supporters by the UK press.

So that's basically the state of UK politics.

I think most of the press would rather seek to continue blaming the EU for not acceding to the UK's demands and remainers for failing to give Brexit their full support.
