Not in the slightest (as I suspect you already know).

The PM and others are talking about trajectory - future intent, not the present state of the statute book, which is self evidently fully aligned with the EU because it has been developed in line with the EU for more than 40 years.

This present government is open to regulatory change to the benefit of British businesses and consumers. There is, however, simply no way their pronouncements can possibly be construed as meaning that all those regulations will change on day one after the transition ends.
