WATCH: No-deal Brexit TV advert compared to Dad's Army

The government’s no-deal TV adverts have been compared by Labour to Corporal Jones’ warnings in Dad’s Army not to panic. But shadow Cabinet Office minister Jon Trickett said the possibility of “thousands of job losses” is “no joke”. He told the Commons today: “The country is hanging on a no-deal cliff-edge, and today we read the government’s latest idea; a ludicrous TV advert saying to the public from Friday onwards ‘don’t panic’. “A bit like Corporal Jones in Dad’s Army. But this is not the Home Guard in the 1940s is it? And the prospect of thousands of job losses and the shortages of food and medicine and so on, it’s no joke.”
