No-deal Brexit: Are you stockpiling foods or medicines? We want to hear from you

The government's secret contingency plan for no-deal Brexit has finally been released, and it has major implications for your family.

Boris Johnson tried to keep the Operation Yellowhammer file under wraps, but he backed down after the Commons voted to demand details be released.

The six-page dossier, dated August 2, reveals a no-deal Brexit could trigger a meltdown at Britain's ports, with six-month disruption at Dover blocking medicine supplies.

It also predicts electricity price increases, shortages of fuel and some foods, lorry delays of between one-and-a-half and two-and-a-half days at Dover and public disorder.

One stark paragraph sums it up: "Low-income groups will be disproportionately affected by any price rises in food and fuel."

The Government insists that the plan outlines the 'worst case scenario' of a no-deal Brexit, and extra work has been carried out to prepare the nation since it was published.

But others claim it is a realistic prediction of what will happen if the UK leaves the EU without a deal.

We want to hear from you about how Brexit will affect your family. Are you stockpiling foods and medicines? Do you live abroad?
