And that's it. Anybody else think they've got some slightly odd priorities there?
Are they repealing the Equality Act or something? How does that even relate to Brexit or the EU?
as i understand these are all things covered by the european charter of fundamental rights and subsequent ECJ judgements. the UK wants to avoid incorporating those into law, so all of them will be gone unless they specifically make new laws to keep them. which they might or might not. in the case of things like rights specifically, they will always be worse than what we have now because there is no real framework by which parliament can challenged for violating/repealing these rights at whim. one of the big problems with europe is that people don't realize they don't have anywhere near as many rights as they think they do under british law and a lot of what we take forgranted is actually part of european law.
