They are certainly
not all needed, but they do need to be disentangled. For example, the GDPR is overly bureaucratic, but you can’t just repeal it because you need to ensure that data is still protected. Same with the Working Time legislation, which needs amending rather than repealing altogether.
However, yes, I am disappointed that the government didn’t make much better progress on this.

Don’t you mean ‘the electorate got it badly wrong’? (Not that they did, of course).
After all, it was the decision of our voters.
