Labour delays law limiting EU judges' UK influence

Labour has postponed a law that would have removed the power of EU judges over UK courts. This decision comes as Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer aims for a closer relationship with the EU, raising concerns among Conservatives. The law, initially set to take effect on October 1, was designed to end the supremacy of European law in Britain. Critics argue that Labour's move undermines the Brexit referendum result and shows a willingness to concede to EU demands. The European Court of Justice still holds authority over certain UK legal matters, a contentious issue during Brexit negotiations. The government stated that UK courts can already diverge from pre-Brexit EU law, and further reforms will be considered in the future.
