And fyi secondary legislation can only be reversed by a court through judicial review and only it is deemed unlawful...

Not so.

Any Statutory Instrument can remove or amend provisions in earlier SIs.

Any government can repeal an Act which enabled secondary legislation, and when it does all of the relevant SIs disappear. That needs to be done very carefully, as all of a sudden there may be no rules in vital areas.

I suspect he's trying to tie us to following the EU rules in perpetuity regardless of the future government, which is just anti-democratic.

He's trying to set an irreversible path towards rejoining the EU

No government can, in any way, or to the slightest extent, bind future ones.

The actual country should be the ones to decide what workers they want based on need, not some bureaucracy telling us we must take them.

Freedom of movement was never "some bureaucracy telling us we must take them".

It was simply if you were a plumber in Penzance you could go and become a plumber in Peterborough, or Paris, or Pisa. And vice-versa.

It was simply Norman Tebbit's dad pedalling his bicycle across borders into other countries.

Fortunately almost anything done today, can be undone tomorrow with the right will.

Like Brexit.

This is not just a one-off local by election though and Starmer did try to stop them.

Untrue.
