The whole argument about “workers rights” etc, is a political red herring.
Firstly, the whole point of Brexit was to be self governing. so if we are not going to pass a Brexit deal because certain things aren’t pinned to EU rules, is a mockery of the referendum.
Secondly, when we are self governing, if a Tory Government did produce legislation that did reduce workers rights, then a future opposition could reverse that legislation and improve workers rights, that’s the whole point of being self governing. Do Labour want the EU to do their bidding for Them?
Once we’re outside the EU, British politicians will be responsible to the British people and not be able to hide behind the EU, and that can only be a good thing.

You and I are in complete agreement at this singular moment, except for the referendum bit.

They haven’t been making any decisions, that’s why we’re still here. They have deferred and deferred and deferred.
The only body making decisions has been the EU deciding how many extensions to give us and for how long.
