Johnson ignores fears that taking power away from supreme court will threaten workers’ rights''

''Downing Street has confirmed a plan to allow lower courts to roll back EU legal rulings following Brexit, a plan that prompted concerns that it will become easier to challenge European standards in areas such as workers’ rights and the environment.

Under plans made by Theresa May, the incorporation of all EU case law made by the European court of justice into UK law after departure would have left the supreme court as the only body able to overturn these decisions.

But asked about reports that Boris Johnson had ignored concerns from some ministers and decided to allow lower courts the same power, his spokesman confirmed that this would be part of the new withdrawal agreement bill.

The revised bill, which puts Johnson’s Brexit plan into law, is due to be published imminently, and will face its first vote from MPs on Friday, when it is due to have its first and second reading''
