So today, Sunak's excuse for a Government continues Rees Mogg's #Brexit bonfire of EU regulations. Government amendments actively seek to prevent preservation of at least current level of environmental protection; & prevent enhanced Parliamentary scrutiny. Shameful #REULBill

WILL THE RETAINED EU LAW BILL UNDERMINE SUNAK'S WINDSOR
In its current form the Retained #EU Law Bill is incompatible with the Windsor Framework. Rishi Sunak should make big changes to the REUL bill or scrap it altogether. Anton Spisak #REUL #REULBILL

My new post on the latest update to the govt's #REUL tracker

tl;dr progress, but still not in line with the ambition of the #REULBill

Net neutrality is under threat. The #REULBill will remove from UK law the principle that broadband carriers will treat all internet traffic equally, regardless of the content or the nature of the service. The Lords must defend #netneutrality today. #REUL #ukpolitics https://www.openrightsgroup.org/publications/policy-briefing-on-retained-eu-law-revocation-and-reform-bill/

“The trade and cooperation agreement allows the EU to take countermeasures against the UK for breaches of the level playing field – for example, by removing zero-tariff access to the European market.

…everyone is focused on sorting out the NI [Northern Ireland] protocol. But if and when a deal is done on the protocol, the arguments will start on the REUL [retained EU law] bill. Some MEPs are already talking of a trade war.”

The Chair of @OfficeforEP@twitter.com - the Govt's own environmental regulator - said #REULBill "doesn't offer any safety net, there's no requirement to maintain existing levels of environmental protection". Govt pledges that this Bill protects standards aren't worth paper they're written on

The #REULBill won't just fail to maintain our existing environmental standards - there's literally a requirement written into the Bill *not* to make legislation stronger. For the Minister to argue this Bill will deliver "positive environmental outcomes" is absolutely staggering

The #REULBill proposed by this Tory Govt today is an act of legislative vandalism.

Now we're in a battle to save our economic, environmental & public health standards from obliteration.

Here's why we must kill this Bill🧵

Find out more about the threat to #netneutrality in our blog from last year. The #REULBill would mean UK Internet users could have a more restrictive experience and it paves the way for general monitoring of content measures in the #OnlineSafetyBill.

The EU’s Open Internet Access Regulation enshrined net neutrality in law. #REULBill will remove this protection by the end of the year, unless an amendment succeeds in delaying the sunset clause or the regulation is saved by making it UK law. We call on MPs to act accordingly. #NetNeutrality #OpenInternet

Net neutrality means Internet service providers can’t block, filter or prioritise content. Revoking the EU regulations would disadvantage UK Internet users, websites could be blocked without a legal order, and content could be prioritised to suit commercial interests. #REULBill #NetNeutrality #OpenInternet

⚠️ Today the government sets the stage to wipe out net neutrality with the Retained EU Law Bill. This is yet another assault on our right to freedom of expression and access to information online. The #REULBill must be binned to protect open Internet access.

The #RetainedEULawBill #ReulBill returns to @HouseofCommons on Wednesday for Report Stage #REUL

It represents an unprecedented #AttackOnDemocracy and an #AttackOnNature

If @RishiSunak is serious about protecting both, he should withdraw this Bill, dreamed up by Jacob Rees-Mog, and think again

The Retained EU Law Bill, on its way through Parliament, means hundreds of environmental protection laws will be repealed in 2023. What regulatory framework will replace them?
