But that isn't their problem is it? Their problem is the amount of leeway the bill gives to the Government to pass/amend/scrap leglislation without so much as a trigger mechanism should Parliament object to any of those actions. There is generally an understanding that the Government needs some of this power given the amount they have to do but people should rightly be concerned about the power being abused.
Maybe Labour would still object if this bill were
only concerned with confirming those rights but it's rather typically disingenuous to pretend it's that that they're objecting too in this massive bill.
