Boris Johnson will water down workers’ rights after Brexit, according to a leaked Whitehall document.
The plan, prepared by the Department for exiting the EU, says Britain will diverge from EU regulations on workplace protection.
Shadow Brexit minister Jenny Chapman said: “ Boris Johnson ’s Brexit is a blueprint for a deregulated economy.
"It will see vital rights and protections torn up.”
The fear is that the PM wants to turn Britain into a Singapore-style tax-free zone.
The document seen by the Financial Times reveals that on workers’ rights the EU and UK “interpretation of these commitments will be very different”.
Negotiations will come after Brexit when a deal on the future political relationship with the EU is thrashed out.
Mr Johnson has always said he believes in “the highest possible standards” for workers and environmental standards.
