The Retained EU Law Bill proposed by this Tory Government (today) is an act of legislative vandalism.
Now we’re in a battle to save our economic, environmental & public health standards from obliteration.
Dropping or weakening these environmental laws could cost a whopping £83bn over 30 years: £50bn in health costs from filthy air; £21bn of damage to polluted waterways; £13bn from weakened chemical regulations. Is this what the Government meant by “opportunities of Brexit”?
The Government could focus on tackling the nature crisis, sewage scandal & climate emergency. It could protect our health, food & safety standards. It could avoid wasting billions on a bureaucratic nightmare.
But only if it kills this bill once and for all.
