Brexiteer MPs on the warpath after No10 ditches plans to end all EU red tape this year
BREXITEER MPs are on the warpath after No10 ditched plans to end all EU red tape this year.
They are upset because ministers have admitted they will be unable to shred all the rules we inherited from Brussels.

The PM had vowed to look at them all in his first 100 days to unleash our post-Brexit potential.
But only another 600 out of 4,000 EU laws will go by December 31 — on top of 1,000 already axed since we left in 2020.
An angry delegation of Brexiteers was last night set to complain to ministers and the chief whip.
Ex-Business Secretary Jacob Rees-Mogg, previously in charge of the Brexit bonfire, said: “This is an admission of administrative failure. The blob has triumphed.

Immigration minister slams MPs for opposing crackdown on small boat invasion
A MINISTER has accused MPs of acting like “humanitarian nimbys” by opposing a blitz on small boat arrivals.
Robert Jenrick said “grandstanding” politicians who call for Britain to welcome everyone “fail to take their fair share” in their own constituencies.

The Immigration Minister said MPs must heed the warnings of protests over migrant hotels, or risk “losing the trust and respect of the British public”.
Mr Jenrick also warned that “astronomical” numbers of arrivals risked “cannibalising” compassion for genuine refugees fleeing war-zones.
He spoke out ahead of today’s report stage of the Illegal Migration Bill in the Commons.
Ministers were facing revolts by Tory MPs over the curbs on modern slavery claims and plans for child detention.
Government insiders are now confident they have made enough concessions to please both the Tory left and right and see off major rebellions.
Mr Jenrick, meanwhile, said international talks were ongoing over how best to “refresh and renew” decades-old migration laws to make them fit for today’s mass movements.
It came as figures from Labour claimed the asylum hotel bill could top £4billion this year as £7.5million a day is spent on accommodating new arrivals.
