We went round this circle yesterday. It's quite simple. We will be aligned with the EU when brexit happens, unless for some strange reason a load of rabid brexiteers in parliament want to stay up Thursday night rushing bills or ammendments to our existing legislation through 3 readings and the house of Lords. Failing that we will be just as aligned with the EU next Saturday night as we are now. Once we have left however we arefree to make changes to our UK regulations as we see fit, and to not adopt further EU standards that we don't fancy. The net result will be a gradual move away from alignment. This of course does not suit the hysterical narrative of those trying to scare everyone with tales of 'crashing out'. Saj may then be said to have told the truth (or lied) the on both occasions I suppose.
