LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Theresa May said on Thursday the government was continuing to prepare for a no-deal Brexit after her draft divorce deal sparked a raft of ministerial resignations.

“We have been preparing for no-deal and we continue to prepare for no-deal because I recognize that we have a further stage of negotiation with the European council and then that deal when finalised ... has to come back to this House,” she told parliament.
