Brexit Is About To Get Much, Much Worse For Uk Citizens
If you thought the continuing loss of billions of pounds in tax to the exchequer (and even more to the UK economy as a whole) as a direct result of Brexit is bad; you ain’t seen nothing yet.
The ‘EU law revocation and reform bill’ which has already passed two votes on the House of Commons (and despite not having passed into law yet), is due to take effect at the end of next year.
The bill proposes the loss of a host of rights, freedoms and protections of ordinary people; amongst them the right to annual paid leave, the right of women to equal pay for doing the same work as men and many, many more rights UK citizens have enjoyed for years as a result of being members of the EU.
I don’t recall the loss of these rights being plastered on the side of a red bus during the referendum debate – but that’s what you fools voted for.

i am quite grateful to hymie for continuing to point out the substantial costs of brexit... too often people simply ignore them or pretend they don't exist and they have been doing so since the referendum in 2016... unfortunatel

It is a false premise that we are going to replace EU laws, they have already been transcribed into UK law (so we have no EU laws) – this Bill removes citizens rights, currently enjoyed within those transcribed laws.
Under the EU Directive giving women equal rights, UK laws would have been put in place (giving women those prescribed protections/rights), and after Brexit, transcribed into UK law.
Now those women’s rights are under threat – let’s hope no women voted for Brexit.

hymie: "It is a false premise that we are going to replace EU laws, they have already been transcribed into UK law (so we have no EU laws) " - gawed your ignorance is breathtaking. Yes they are absorbed now they need amending. Show us the evidence that the things you talk about are going to be removed or button it.
Yes, Hymie, and then it goes on to say ‘to make provision relating to the interpretation of retained EU law and to its relationship with other law; to make provision relating to powers to modify retained EU law; to enable the restatement, replacement or updating of certain retained EU law; to enable the updating of restatements and replacement provision; to abolish the business impact target; and for connected purposes.’
hymie: "To those who think that the Bill does not revoke EU law, the Bill goes on the state:- " - do you even read what others write? Several of us above have said that EUSSR law is being revoked above. Then replaced by equivalent UK law. Try reading what people write in between your rabid bloviations.
TTT incorrectly states that the EU law is being revoked, and then replaced by UK law – this is not so.
The proposed revoked EU derived/retained legislation is being revoked as of the end of 2023, there is no requirement in the Bill for it to be replaced.
There are 5 notes under the revocation clause, but none of these requires the revoked EU laws to be enacted as a UK law (or changed UK law). The Bill then goes on to cover things such as the supremacy of EU law and abolition of general principles of EU law etc.
