A leaked memo says Theresa May's government has no plan for Brexit and needs to hire 30,000 extra civil servants to work on 500 Brexit-related projects.

Entitled "Brexit Update" and dated 7 November, the memo criticises the prime minister for “drawing in decisions and details to settle matters herself” which is not deemed sustainable.
It also warns that big companies will "point a gun at the Government's head" after ministers gave the car maker Nissan assurances about trading conditions once Britain leaves the European Union.
According to The Times, the document said: “Every department has developed a ‘bottom-up’ plan of what the impact of Brexit could be - and its plan to cope with the ‘worst case’.
The government could take another six months to settle its priorities on Brexit, the memo said.
“Although necessary, this falls considerably short of having a ‘Government plan for Brexit’ because it has no prioritisation and no link to the overall negotiation strategy,” it reads.
But a source within the government told the BBCthat it doesn't recognise the claims in the document.
Transport Secretary Chris Grayling said: "My own experience is very different to that."
