I was interested to see in the Guardian (the article reporting on Truss saying it's OK for tax reform to benefit the rich more than the poor) that
"she wanted to remove some EU-based workers’ protections, for example on the length of the working week and entitlements to holidays. Truss has made plain her desire to change the UK in this sort of broad direction, based on lower tax and a smaller role for the state."
This may be news to those Brexiters who assured everyone here and elsewhere for years that the UK's worker protections are actually ahead of the minimum standards set by the EU's interfering busybody regulations, that the point of Brexit was certainly not to reduce worker protections in any way etc. etc. The Truss seems to have other ideas.
EDIT: spotted by the unions.
