Britain's army of small irms are being hung out to dry by the Government and should ready themselves for the hardest EU divorce imaginable, a business adviser has warned.

Speaking as the clock read 100 days to Brexit, Paul Hodges, who runs the company Ready For Brexit, warned that "all roads lead to no deal".
