Thread by @MarcusFitzsimon

Daniel Hannan called for the:

scrapping of:

* the Temporary Workers’ Directive – which guarantees agency staff receive equal pay and conditions with employees in the same business

* the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) – that gives individuals control over their personal data and limits its transfer to other countries.

* the ban on products made from genetically modified (GM) crops – allowing US food derived that way into the UK

* the REACH Directive – to outlaw chemicals linked to health problems including cancer, thyroid disease, hormone disruption and slow development

* End of Life Vehicles Directive – to achieve environmentally-friendly dismantling and recycling

* the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) – introduced to regulate hedge funds and private equity following the 2008 financial crash

* the ‘Droit de suite’ rules – that pay artists a fee on the resale of their works of art, instead of the US type

* “chunks of” the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) – the legal framework to harmonise regulation of securities markets and trading venues

and worst of all, publicly funded childcare ratios to be slashed

I wonder how many new tory voters have the slightest idea of the evils they have unleashed upon the country

Hannan is another free market fundamentalist leading this govt by the nose

Shit is literally all around!
