It was a con on two fronts:

When the UK was prepared to veto the WTD, they changed it to a H&S measure that only required a qualified majority.

2/
France was determined to get the WTD through because of its ridiculous labour laws that gave the UK an advantage over France.



i agreed with you on the other two, but you avoided my question on why the WTD is a bad thing...

The process may not have been ideal, but the outcome was optimal (unless you are an employer who didn’t want to give your employees decent holidays or working hours).

Yes, they do - it’s illegal to force employees to opt out.

And who will forge new trade deals with us, when if we take a no deal Brexit and walk away, we show we are not willing to honour deals?
