The government plans to press ahead with legislation that would repeal swathes of EU law by default. Anyone who cares about legal certainty should object

EU law is not bad for our health and safety – unfortunately, the same cannot be said of our government.

A future leader will need to confront Brexiters in the same way Blair faced down the hard left over clause 4.

Business secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg’s new Brexit Freedoms Bill claims replacing or repealing all retained EU laws will bring unfettered growth. It’s dangerous and untrue.

Promises that exiting the EU would leave the UK better placed to protect the environment lie in tatters.

Voters were promised better-funded public services and stronger employment rights after Brexit – Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak are now offering us the opposite, reports Adam Bienkov.

Boris Johnson became prime minister on the promise that Brexit would bring prosperity and pride. Did it?

UK and French officials in war of words as holidaymakers hit by long delays.

While the picture’s hardly pretty and certainly not what advocates of Brexit envisioned, none of it surprises economists. As a former Bank of England official observed: “You run a trade war against yourself, bad things happen.”

Despite calls to 'take back control' the economic reality is that tariffs will be determined by the 'bound rates' that the UK already has in place under the WTO and, ultimately, no tariff regime will make up for loss of access to the EU market

Jacob Rees-Mogg has put his name to an “Economists for Free Trade” (EfT) report claiming a no-deal Brexit would bring a £1.1 trillion boost to the British economy over the next 15 years. This is pure fantasy. The overwhelming consensus amongst economists is that quitting the EU with no deal would be a disaster on a truly magnificent scale.

Brexit has given us a new species – the harmful eccentric.

During the referendum, Leavers loudly defended the rights of EU citizens legally resident in the UK. Now many pro-Brexit MPs are not practising what they preach. They have so far refused to back legislation requiring the government to guarantee these citizens’ rights.
