Brexit U-turn: Tories abandon plan to scrap 'bendy banana' rule.
TL;DR Summary
The UK government has U-turned on its promise to scrap thousands of EU regulations by the end of the year, with only 600 laws set to be revoked. Among the regulations to remain is EU Regulation No 1333/2011, which governs the shape and curve of bananas. Brexiteers, including Jacob Rees-Mogg, have criticized the move, with Rees-Mogg comparing Prime Minister Boris Johnson to a member of the corrupt House of Borgia. Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch has blamed Whitehall officials for the decision and acknowledged the risks of legal uncertainty.
