Hard Brexit Explained: What Does It Mean For The UK?

The video explains the concept of a hard Brexit, where the UK would sever ties with the EU, leaving the single market, Customs Union, and free trade agreements. This would grant the UK greater control over its borders and trade policies but could introduce trade barriers and legal complexities.
