Rollback of EU working directive
“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.” -

Interestingly the working directive doesn't involve any red tape it's just an inherent right for an employee to not have to work more than 8 hours overtime per week.
Why don't they cut unnecessary red tape?I'm alright Jack -
