Comments by UK PM spokeswoman, Alison Donnelly
- UK has significantly stepped up no-deal Brexit planning
- Government rules out early recall of parliament, current recess dates still apply
- Johnson will use meetings this week to deliver his message on Brexit
- Have been clear there will be no formal negotiation until backstop is removed
