Former business secretary says ‘politicians need to stick to what they said they will do’ in attack on Rishi Sunak
Jacob Rees-Mogg has accused the prime minister of breaking his word over the decision not to scrap thousands of EU laws by the end of the year.
On Wednesday, the trade secretary, Kemi Badenoch, outlined changes to a supposed “bonfire” of EU legislation, which had originally meant thousands of laws would automatically face the axe on 31 December under a controversial “sunset clause” deadline.
