The Brexit bill has returned to the House of Commons where Members of Parliament are rushing to pass it before the UK's deadline of leaving the EU on January 31.
Johnson's newly-won 80 seat majority in the House of Commons means the bill should pass easily by the end of the month. When Johnson became prime minister, he renegotiated a modified version of her deal which will instead allow Great Britain to cut all ties with the EU, while keeping Northern Ireland in a closer relationship with the EU in order to prevent a hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic.
The government insists it will pass new legislation this parliament to further protect workers' rights. However, the detail remains sketchy and we will only know whether he actually will when that legislation is brought forward. What we do know is that the future of workers' rights will not be decided by this Brexit bill.The bill will enter its committee stage on Tuesday when MPs will go through it line-by-line to see whether it requires any amendment.
As Anand Menon tells Business Insider: "I suppose you could just about see the prime minister saying, 'The European Union is refusing to negotiate anything until we've done fish and financial services and we're reluctantly going to have to extend the transition period'." "Of not having thought things through properly, of doing things on the back of an envelope, of parliament ceding so much power to the executive that a lot of the serious business of reshaping the country post-Brexit will be done by statutory instruments rather than proper legislation, so it will escape any sort of scrutiny."
