Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% :The bill also gives ministers the powers to rewrite or "update" the rules, with no requirement to consult and at most only a two-hour debate in parliament to say yes or no, but, despite promises from Jacob Rees-Mogg that Brexit could mean higher standards than the EU's, it does not confer power to improve standards and protections, but only to reduce them.
54% : Environmental campaigners including Chris Packham have already sounded the alarm on the threat to disapply environmental rules protecting rare flora and fauna in the 38 new investment zones in England to enable "accelerated development".
51% : You can be a fanatical supporter of Brexit and still think this is not the right thing to do.
50% : "This is nothing to do with whether you support Brexit or not.
47% : "It took over two years and a vast amount of civil service resource to draft over 600 pieces of legislation to get the statute book ready for Brexit.
39% : Swathes of laws including equal pay for men and women, pension rights for same-sex married couples, food standards and aviation safety rules could accidentally disappear or be redrafted poorly, they warn.
