Not content with making it impossible to “go and live there” if we don’t like Brexit, the Tories are planning to repeal all the EU derived legislation. The Bill is called the Retained EU Law (Revocation and Reform) Bill 2022-23. It is understood to threaten most already inadequate worker’s rights including holiday pay, working hours limitations, and equal pay. It has been suggested that this I am surprised so little’s been said, most if what I can find is either Government statements, or lawyers, who can often be useful.
