UPDATE 1-Britain is turbo-charging no-deal Brexit preparations - foreign minister

Britain is turbo-charging its no-deal Brexit preparations and will be ready to leave the European Union with or without a deal on Oct. 31, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said on Monday. Raab, an avowed Brexiteer, said the "undemocratic" Irish backstop had to go from the Withdrawal Agreement. "We want a good deal with EU partners and friends but that must involve the abolition of the undemocratic backstop," Raab told the BBC.
