Significance
The bill lays down that all EU-derived ‘secondary’ legislation be reviewed or revoked by the end of 2023. The bill encapsulates consecutive Conservative governments' efforts to demonstrate the liberating benefits of Brexit, but threatens to have important consequences for the UK internal market and UK-EU relations.
Impacts
If many parts of the bill are delayed until after the next elections, a Labour-led government would look to abolish them.
Polls show that Sunak is struggling to revive the Conservatives' electoral hopes, boosting Labour's chances of winning the next elections.
Optimism over an agreement on the Northern Ireland Protocol should be treated with caution as long-standing obstacles remain.
