Cable Forum - UK & EU Agree Post-Brexit Trade Deal

We have workers rights (protected by the EU).
Post Brexit we can change these laws, workers no longer have that protection.
Given the concerns from MPs prior to the election Bozza said he would continue with these protections, by adding them to UK law.
He's now going back on that, less than a week after the election.
He's a lying liar, which we all knew.

I’m struggling to see the problem here.

You appear to be hankering after the “protection” of a supra-national organisation that has the power to prevent a democratically elected government from pursuing policies the British electorate voted for.

This is one of the reasons many people voted to leave the EU. But even after having their arses handed to them last week, it seems many remainers still simply don’t get it.

Here’s the rub: from now on, if you want policies implemented in the UK, then you need to make and win a democratic case in the UK. You can no longer rely on the inertia of a pretend superstate, and the votes of foreign politicians, to do it for you.

No the lie was the main point I was making in the first place. You're the one that's trying to change the subject !

I think he’s the numpty who started wailing at Strasbourg, which is a bummer. But he’s SNP, and the majority of us have just learned to tune out their endless whining by now, so we’ll cope.

The EU case against the UK for not appointing a Commissioner has gone quiet? Anyone heard anything? Google not much help.

Surely Mr K's aim to find an MP who doesn't lie and keeps his pre-election promises can be found within the UK?

Just remind them that they aren't getting a referendum that should cheer you up;)

Perhaps they'll hold a non-binding referendum, and then say it's the will of the majority/democracy... ;)

Well that would certainly stir the pot.

Quote from The Sun:

https://www.cableforum.uk/board/atta...8&d=1562846859

BORIS Johnson plans to give British judges the power to overturn EU court rulings in his landmark Brexit bill.

The PM has vowed to ensure Britain “take back control of our laws” with lower courts given the power to ditch European Courts of Justice rulings.
Mr Johnson’s move is set to divide the cabinet when MPs vote on the bill on Friday, The Times reported today.

And Boris' spokesperson confirmed the news earlier.

They said: "The bill will ensure that the Supreme Court is not the only institution able to consider the European Court of Justice rulings.

"This is an important change, which will ensure that we do not face a legal bottleneck and inadvertently stay bound by EU rulings for many years.
"We will take back control of our laws and disentangle ourselves from the EU's legal order, as was promised to the British people."

I've put the Times link in for those who subscribe.

Presumably this would also scupper moves in Brussels regarding the non-appointment of an EU comissioner for the UK. :scratch:

I’d be quite happy for the SNP to do a Catalonia.

A referendum lacking legitimacy or legal authority is the easiest to fight - you just refuse to take part. Let it be seen for the farce that it is.

Then afterwards, while I don’t imagine the British legal system would go after SNP ministers for treason as the Spanish did in Catalonia, I do wonder whether there might be a case to answer regarding misuse of public funds.

I assume this for after the transition period as the CJEU is the ultimate arbiter of matters pertaining to EU law according to the Withdrawal Agreement. If that is the case, we won't be needing a Commissioner anyway

Well this is in the WA so I assume it becomes active once given royal ascent.
