The source for this is a leak via @mi6rogue and reported here. It's not an invention. It's not an extreme prediction. This is the reasonable worst case - a fully expected outcome. https://www.itv.com/news/2020-12-06/the-12-reasonable-worst-case-outcomes-if-brexit-talks-collapse
So when you hear Brexit MPs demanding No Deal, remember that they are aware. But they still want food, fuel, water and medicine shortages, clashes at sea, disease outbreaks, crime, terrorism, civil unrest, border chaos, and the collapse of the social care system.
