Rees-Mogg accuses doctor of 'fearmongering' about potential no-deal deaths

Jacob Rees-Mogg has clashed with a doctor involved in Brexit contingency planning over the potential death toll of a no-deal outcome. The Commons leader was taking questions from listeners on LBC's Nick Ferrari show when David Nicholl, a consultant neurologist, called in to ask how many people he would accept could die as a result of leaving the EU without a deal. Rees-Mogg told Nicholl: 'I think this is the worst excess of "project fear" and I’m surprised that a doctor in your position would be fearmongering in this way on public radio'
