LONDON - Britain faces a"national emergency" as the risk of a no-deal Brexit rises, business and union leaders have warned in an open letter to embattled Prime Minister Theresa May.

"Our country is facing a national emergency. Decisions of recent days have caused the risk of no-deal to soar," read the letter from CBI director-general Carolyn Fairbairn and TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady. The grim warning, contained in a rare coming together of two organisations usually at odds with one another, comes as Mrs May meets the other 27 EU leaders in a Brussels summit to plead for a three-month postponement to Brexit.

However, EU leaders are likely to refuse her request, leaving Britain vulnerable to departing from the bloc with no trade deal in place.
