He called Boris Johnson’s plans to shut down Parliament to force through a No Deal Brexit “an attack on democracy which will be resisted.” and described a no deal Brexit as a Trump deal Brexit
“unless we stop Johnson’s government now it is a headlong rush into the arms of Donald Trump.” he told the audience.

Earlier the Shadow Transport Secretary said that a No Deal Brexit would throw UK’s transport networks into chaos.
Andy McDonald MP responding to Government analysis which shows there would be chaos in Dover in the event of No Deal Brexit, said:
“This analysis confirms what industry has been telling the Government for years: a No Deal Brexit would throw the UK’s transport networks into chaos and cause a huge amount of disruption.
“The Government cannot be trusted to tell the truth. They have been denying the severity of a No Deal Brexit even when their own internal analysis warns of food and medicine shortages.
