“Under the bill’s provisions, more than 4,000 EU laws kept on the UK statute book after Brexit to ensure continuity would be automatically scrapped at the end of this year, unless ministers decide that there should be exemptions.
A key complaint is the way it would cut both houses of parliament out of decisions on which EU laws should be ditched, ceding that power to unelected civil servants and ministers. This is despite the fact that Rees-Mogg and his fellow Brexiters said that leaving the EU would be a way of restoring sovereignty to parliament.”
Taking Back Control come to life.
It’s almost like they hadn’t thought this whole thing through…
I cannot wait for the day when I don’t have to see this pompous entitled snobs face in British politics.
“Extend the sunset laws”… which party will reverse brexit?
From the bottom of the article:
>Another idea is to extend the “sunset clause” under which laws would cease to apply by at least another year, taking them beyond the likely date of the next general election, meaning the bill would in effect never come into force. **Within the civil service, officials say it is inevitable that most of the EU laws will be retained.**
So they produced all of the downsides of Brexit, without the freedom they claimed would set the country free.
I mean.. . The UK had laws before joining the EU. We can either directly append what EU laws we want or revert to the laws we had pre 1992.
So what exactly from the pro-Brexit side has come to pass?
Rate of immigration is higher than ever.
We continue to have large numbers of asylum seekers making dangerous journeys to get here.
We still aren’t able to conduct goods checks on border freight, having delayed their implementation 5 times since 2020 now.
Westminster seems about as accountable as it ever was, if not less so given the last 18 months of turmoil and absolutely zero say in it for 99.9% of the UK public.
We still haven’t sorted out Horizon membership, costing us billions in research funding that Westminster has been completely unwilling to replace. They have been talking about a pound for pound replacement since 2017, and we are still waiting for a single penny of that to materialize.
The agriculture sector is in dire straits, I can’t imagine fishing is doing much better however I notice all the concerns about our fishermen have pretty abruptly vanished since 2020.
Rather than getting produce from the rest of the world we are regularly experiencing shortages of goods as basic as tomatoes from major supermarkets.
And now we can’t even have the “red tape bonfire” Boris and friends had their big song and dance about?
Like… Ok I guess this is not a very pro-Brexit sub so maybe this won’t get a response, I’m not at all interested in preaching to the choir, however going by certain posts and voting trends there is at least a group of right/conservative-leaning people who must have backed this. I’m genuinely curious at what point do they admit even within their own terms this has been a complete fucking catastrophe and absolutely none of the things they spent years talking about have come to pass? If anything on many of the talking points we have gone the opposite direction to what was promised. Are you guys not even slightly disappointed or angry at the people who sold you a barrel of lies?
Why is the country held with a gun to its head by 60 or so extremist loons in the Conservative Parliamentary Party?
At least you avoided all that chaos with Ed Milliband I suppose. /s
Excellent news. Anything that diminishes the influence of Mogg and the flailing brexteers is good for the country. Brexit has failed. Brexit was a useless ideological nonsense. We must move on.
So we will still be obeying EU rules, but we no longer have any say in what those rules are?
That doesn’t sound very good. Why didn’t anyone mention this back in 2016?
Oh wait, they did. It was dismissed as project fear.
Reading the article, they haven’t retreated at all. They’re just delaying for a little bit.
This is actually good news. And the sun is out. Hooray!
Typical Tories, they just can’t wait to take away workers’ rights and put more power in the hands of their rich buddies. This is just another example of their underhanded tactics to dismantle any progress made towards protecting the rights of the working class. They don’t care about the average person, they only care about lining their own pockets and maintaining their grip on power. It’s time we stood up to these Tory parasites and fought for the rights of workers everywhere.
Will they ever admit the whole idea was absolutely stupid?
The only useful thing Rees Mogg has done is proposing that the UK move to a sensible temperature scale, like Rankin. Beyond that, he has yet to justify the CO2 he has released into the atmosphere as part of regular respiration.
Beyond that, all I can say is, “of course, and thank god that their stupidity has a few breaks.”
That is something good. Throwing out all these laws was always a terrible idea.
Probably because it would take work and actual know-how to do it
>to further seize the opportunities of Brexit
A bit of basic opportunity seizing (forget *further*) would we welcome
>That’s all by design! There is no revolt. It’s just a dramatic act to deceive their voters. The Tories never intended to scrap EU laws/regulations. Those all need to stay for the UK to continue doing trade with the EU. Not only that, but UK will continue to adopt new regulations.
>Another take on this could be, that the Tories are too dumb to come up with an EU-compatible British regulatory framework.
>That being said, even the most ignorant Leavers should have comprehended by now, that Brexit was less about taking back control and more about tax cuts and freedom for the billionaire elite.
People who voted Brexit, how stupid do you feel about now?
Fuck, I hate the sight of that 1930’s Wooster caricature.
Well this sub ever stop frothing at the mouth and crying about brexit ??
No… no it won’t..
We have passed peak Brexit. The direction of travel is back towards alignment now.
What a spectacular mess. Wasn’t the whole point of the thing to unshackle us from EU laws? (A number of which were, in fairness, to our disadvantage.)
This shambles of a “government” have managed to deliver all the negatives of Brexit with none of the supposed positives.
The quicker we vote these assholes out of office the better.
Does this mean the Human Rights Act is safe and I can stop worrying because I’m a homosexual trans woman and no human rights has never really worked out for people like me in the past

All you need to know summed up here:-
“Under the bill’s provisions, more than 4,000 EU laws kept on the UK statute book after Brexit to ensure continuity would be automatically scrapped at the end of this year, unless ministers decide that there should be exemptions.
A key complaint is the way it would cut both houses of parliament out of decisions on which EU laws should be ditched, ceding that power to unelected civil servants and ministers. This is despite the fact that Rees-Mogg and his fellow Brexiters said that leaving the EU would be a way of restoring sovereignty to parliament.”
