Liz Truss, the leading candidate to succeed Boris Johnson as British prime minister, promised to scrap all remaining European Union laws that still apply in Britain by 2023 if she wins the Conservative Party leadership contest.

Foreign Secretary Truss is up against former finance minister Rishi Sunak in a race to court the 200 000 members of the Conservative Party who over the course of the summer will vote to choose the country’s new prime minister.

Hoping to tap into that, Truss, who campaigned for ‘remain’in the 2016 referendum but is now seen as the heir to Johnson’s pro-Brexit position, promised to purge all remaining EU laws from the statute books. “In Downing Street, I will seize the chance to diverge from outdated EU law and frameworks and capitalise on the opportunities we have ahead of us.”
