Per the
BBC:
For the UK to leave the EU it had to invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty which gives the two sides two years to agree the terms of the split. Theresa May triggered this process on 29 March, 2017, meaning the UK is scheduled to leave at 11pm UK time on Friday, 29 March 2019. It can be extended if all 28 EU members agree, but at the moment all sides are focusing on that date as being the key one, and Theresa May has now put it into British law. So what happens if March 30 arrives with no agreement? My guess is that it turns into a "hard BRexit", which the EU elites would flip out over.

Absolutely nothing other than Britain having its own passports and no “EU Commissioners of Everything”. Oh, and the Brits will need to renegotiate some trade deals, too. With at least 28 separate nations (if those nations still have any sovereignty left to do trade deals on their own behalf).

So what happens if March 30 arrives with no agreement? May's government wants time on her side, hoping for some miracle before the final deadline of 21 January for her EU deal.
