The Tories have delayed the plan to repeal thousands of EU-derived laws en masse.

That doesn't mean the laws won't be all be repealed en masse.

Thoughtful and proper proceedings would be to allowing Parliament to examine each of these laws, one by one, and judge whether the UK would be better off keeping it, repealing it, or changing it. That would be the way to improve life in the UK. Evidently that is not the goal.
