I'm confused about the EU retained laws bill. If loopholes are generally considered a bad thing, what about legal vacuums? It takes years to get stuff on the statute books but from what I can tell this gov is writing off years of legislation before there's anything to replace it. https://t.co/EGythkEoLm
