Government drops plans to lose thousands of EU laws.

We mustn't give up hope, unicorns are alive and well, this was Kemi today,


The potential of an independent UK forging its own place in the world is one of the reasons the country voted to leave the European Union. It’s why, as Trade Secretary, I prioritised negotiations with the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), sending out a signal of how post-Brexit Britain can thrive when it thinks beyond our immediate neighbours, by joining a group of the globe’s fastest growing economies.



It’s also why, now that I’ve been given responsibility for EU laws that have remained on the UK statute book, I want to make sure we do so in a way that maximises our competitive advantage. Yes, of course I want to ensure we remove any unnecessary regulations we inherited from Brussels over the past 50 years, and do so as soon as possible. But the real prize is the unique opportunity to look again at these regulations and decide if they’re right for our economy, if we can scrap them, or if we can reform and improve them and help spur economic growth.

Getting rid of EU law in the UK should be about more than a race to a deadline. It should be about making sure our laws work for the people who use them. Regulatory reform is integral to the Prime Minister’s mission to boost the UK economy; a mission that puts business, consumers, and the British public first.

Well not one to put a spoke in your hamster wheel , but you don't put thousands of Brussels laws on the statute books because you were going to remove them, no actually under Brexit you didn't put them on in the first place.

PR would give you and I and every other shade of opinion a democratic voice in parliament, which is a major reason why the establishment parties are so opposed to it.

Only a minority of the public would agree with you and only a minority with me, but we would have the representation our level of support would entitle us to. We would have a voice. We would be heard. And our parties could lay down red line terms for their cooperation in government. And if the powers that be ignored us our support would grow until they no longer could. We would all have to accept that we'd be functioning in a political environment where no single party is likely to gain an absolute majority, so working with others would be necessary. But at least we would have people in there fighting our corner. People who thought and felt as we do.

I would not describe myself as "hard" left by the way. I broadly believe in the policies of Labour's 2017 manifesto, most of which is more social democratic than socialist.

As it is for everyone else except the Tories and Labour. So I do not have to vote for that bunch of right wing headbangers to support PR.

You seem to have set yourself the mission of persuading me to support your heroes. You'd have more chance of persuading me to staple my balls to a gerbil's arse. Insofar as persuading me, a democratic socialist no less, to vote for Reform goes, as a lost cause it is right up there with the campaign to rehabilitate the pop career of Gary Glitter, lol
