'Labour continues to betray the votes of 17.4million people'

‘A MAJOR report lays bare just how little the UK has made use of Brexit freedoms to break away from EU rules and regulations.

With the UK preparing to mark the 10th anniversary of the historic 2016 referendum to leave the EU, a respected think-tank concludes it “has done little to diverge”.

Britain under Labour now looks set for a future in which it will be “cleaving closer to the EU’s rule-book”, according to a detailed analysis by UK In A Changing Europe.

It also sounds the alarm that “MPs will have very little power to scrutinise EU legislation being adopted, or to influence where the government chooses to align”.

Its new report says it “seems likely that government will try to implement as much alignment as possible via secondary legislation — to expedite processes and minimise parliamentary oversight”.
