Boris Johnson’s Brexit Plan - Brexit Explained.

The video discusses Boris Johnson's three-tier Brexit plan, which includes renegotiating the withdrawal agreement to remove the backstop (Plan A), using Article 24 of the GATT for a no-deal Brexit (Plan B), and resorting to a straight no-deal Brexit while withholding the £39 billion divorce bill (Plan C). Each plan faces significant challenges, including EU resistance and legal complexities. The video also highlights the potential economic impacts and political maneuvers, such as proroguing Parliament, that Johnson might employ to achieve his Brexit goals.
