Oh jeez. I am late to this Boris Johnson - resignation - truck design rules stuff. @Channel4News has a fact check about it, but that has... two factual errors about how the EU takes decisions in the piece 🤦‍♀️channel4.com/news/factcheck…
And if you're interested - the errors are:

1) This was a Commission proposal (as legislative proposals are), and the EP was proposing amendments

2) The European Council does not agree law. The Council of the EU does.

And if pedantic: it's a Directive, not a Regulation
Oh FFS. No you couldn't. Do you think a truck manufacturer could change their supply chains and designs that fast? NO you idiot.

Not understanding stuff like that is perhaps the reason this Brexit stuff is such a sodding mess?
