Business secretary questioned by Brexiter MPs, speaker and Labour after government scraps ‘sunset clause’
Kemi Badenoch has come under fire from furious Conservative backbenchers, the opposition and the Commons speaker after defending the government’s U-turn on retained EU laws.
The business secretary was challenged by Mark Francois, chair of the Tory Brexiter European Research Group (ERG), who asked why the government had performed “a massive climbdown on its own bill despite having such strong support from its backbenchers”.
