The REUL act to cancel Retained EU Laws (REULs) starts to bite as of 1 January 2024, AFAIAA. It maybe that copyright is not currently for the chop, but it seems - in my personal opinion - that the Tory government wish to cancel many EU laws in order to prevent Labour from moving us back towards the EU in the next couple of parliamentary terms. The REUL Act came from Jakob Rees-Mogg MP and it's very much in meeting with his ethos to 'salt the land' and cause damage for generations if he can get a couple of bags of silver out of the deal. Long story short: we're still following EU law in a lot of areas, but not for much longer. As with the pandemic, the Tory government are no doubt using this as an opportunity to do nefarious deals in order to steal from the taxpayer.
