Britons have spent £4bn stockpiling goods in case of no-deal Brexit

One in five people have a Brexit hoard worth £380 and almost a million people have spent more than £1,000.

One in five people are already hoarding food, drinks and medicine, spending an extra £380 each, according to a survey by the finance provider Premium Credit. The survey found that about 800,000 people have spent more than £1,000 building up stockpiles before the 31 October Brexit deadline.

If the UK leaves with no deal, businesses predict there will be short-term supply problems, which the government says it is mitigating.
