Trade unionists should recognise what is at risk from the Bill and its sunset clauses.

The TUC passed a motion which described post-Brexit requirements as ‘bureaucratic, logistical and financial obstacles ‘
Among the ‘retained laws’ which will be swept away as part of the government’s bonfire of EU laws and regulations, are obligations to alert consumers about allergens in foods.
‘The EU will define itself as a military actor, focused on its own defence and limiting Russian aggression.’
‘Promises can enrol people but many can’t easily be delivered.’
‘Any chance of a softer approach to the Frost/Johnson’s post Brexit game playing and sabre rattling were dashed by the deal which stresses a commitment “to a common European policy’
“Labour conference voted for Freedom of Movement & it is there that Labour policy has always been decided & adhered to until a policy is overturned by mechanisms built within labour since it’s inception as Labour.”
‘Johnson and Frost are playing a dangerous game. EU watchers are predicting far from sitting back and taking it on the chin the EU may launch immediate action against the UK’
‘As it stands, the Elections Bill will disenfranchise countless citizens who do not qualify for the EU Settlement Scheme’.
Campaigners fear the ‘hostile environment’ will soon be extended to thousands of EU nationals.
