Be still, my beating heart...

[naomi24]

Don't hold your breath.

I don't think the Remoaners are going to go away any time soon.

// The legislation enables EU law to be transferred into UK law //

We leave the EU because we don’t like their laws. But we transfer the EU laws into UK law before we leave.

Brilliant.

[Jackdaw33]

Because that allows us to cherrypick those we wish to repeal at a later date.

[naomi24]

Gromit, we've known that was going to happen since the beginning. As Jackdaw says, it allows us to retain the good and ditch the bad.

[-SharonA-]

Too right Jackdaw!

[ToraToraTora]

don't be a plonker gromit you know as well as I do that we need the legal structure, we can amend as we go but for now we have legal cohesion.

/// A "landmark moment" in the Brexit process ///

And not before time, Good News.

Read this and offer a little prayer to the laws of common sense and the rights of self determination.

"The EU Withdrawal Act, as it is now known, will also repeal the 1972 European Communities Act, which took Britain into the EU and meant that European law took precedence over laws passed in the UK Parliament."

Woo hoo.

[Togo]

It's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming self rule's coming home. :))

[Gromit]

How does the process work that we cherry pick and ditch.
It looks like it will be rubber-stamped without any scrutiny. Minimal debate in Parliament. Just a transfer and the bendy banana directive is UK law.

[naomi24]

Gromit, //How does the process work that we cherry pick and ditch.//

Not with you. Once we're out who's to stop us cherry picking our own laws?

[Zacs-Master]

Where does this leave the Irish border situation?

[-SharonA-]

Think you're all celebrating a tad too early!!

[douglas9401]

"Where does this leave the Irish border situation?"

On a runway in Afghanistan? On the side of a bus? On the tip of an assassins dagger?

[Zacs-Master]

Anyone.....?

[-SharonA-]

Up a creek Zac!!!!

[Zacs-Master]

Mmm.

[naomi24]

Sharon, no celebration here. I've always expected a stitch up - and nothing's changed.
