Surprised not to see one. Unsurprising to see the Bob Bradley of politics that is Teresa May attempting a power grab that breaches the fundamental principles of our democracy. Did the public vote for ministers to do as they please? If this bill isn't stopped or significantly amended what comes next? Will our courts and judicial system be meddled with? Worrying times. |  |

The worst PM ever.
Dreadful, both charmless and clueless.
Surronded by a bunch of half wits and bullsh@tters. |  |

What power grab? It's just the direct transfer of EU law into UK law. |  |

No it isn't. It includes significant powers for ministers to amend primary legislation using secondary legislation with very little parliamentary scrutiny. It's constitutionally unsound, democratically dubious and gives the government almost unprecedented powers to change the law without proper recourse to parliament. |  |

The sovereignty of parliament is at stake, which ironically was one of the main reasons Brexit is happening.
There are major bits of EU law that doesn't apply to us (like olive production and stuff) , the Tories will go through making the necessary changes to make it applicable to just the UK. All good and common sense i guess if you can trust the Tories to do this properly. But with none of these new laws passing through parliament, whats to stop the Tories amending and passing laws to suit their ends? [Post edited 7 Sep 2017 13:09]

This is a pretty big deal, agreed. Are there any checks and balances in place for this, or has everyone just thrown their hands up in the air with a collective "meh"?
Putting party politics aside, im suprised the legal world hasnt made more noise about the huge gap and potential issues this could cause. |  |

Which is why the right wing of the Tory party and their media barons supported brexit in the first place.
It allows Murdoch and Dacre to make uk policy without the inconvenience of running it past Parliament. |  |
