What is a no-deal Brexit and what would it mean for Britain?

CNN  

London CNN — Tick, tick, tick. Some Conservative MPs have been arguing in favor of a no-deal Brexit, on the basis that it would immediately increase Britain’s freedom to manage its own trade deals, laws and border arrangements. The Government of Gibraltar – which is a British territory on Spain’s southern coast – also told CNN the briefings were “out of date” and based on planning for worst-case scenarios which it has “already dealt with.” As for travel, people seeking to head in or out of the UK face so many uncertainties in the event of a no-deal that it’s almost impossible to plan effectively to avoid them. And, for the optimists – Johnson could still secure a deal with the EU in the coming weeks, which if passed by Parliament would avert the need for a no-deal Brexit. But a no-deal Brexit remains the legal default, and it’s impossible to avoid on October 31 unless a new law is passed – in agreement with the EU – that says otherwise.
