Default EU votes to stop moving clocks twice a year in 2021
https://news.sky.com/story/eu-votes-...-year-11675731


[The European Parliament has voted
to stop moving clocks forward an
hour in spring and back again in the autumn.
Politicians passed the measure by 410
votes to 192 - meaning seasonal time shifts,
which were introduced during World War One
to save energy, will end in 2021.
A final law will be produced after
discussions with member nations,
but the UK government has indicated
it will stick to the current system after Brexit.
Supporters of scrapping daylight saving time point to scientific studies that have linked
the twice-yearly changes to illness because of how they interrupt biological cycles.]

UK govt. is lying, even if/when we Brexit if the whole of Europe stops changing their clocks the UK will do so too fairly quickly because the constant relative fluctuations would be a pain in the arse. We might be "leaving Europe" but whether we like it or not they're going to be our nearest geographical neighbours forever.

Most of Europe is already on a different time to us though so is it that big a deal

Because currently the time difference is always the same because Europe observes DST. If they stop and we keep it, the time difference will be different at different times of year, which is an added complication.

I've always thought it a nuisance anyway.
I'd agree to the UK scrapping it too.

GMT is an institution though, BST is not quite the same

Why should we lose GMT, it’s our history, Europe would for sure make us go on BST for the whole year

I'm not sure where you're getting that from; BST is the adjusted time, if we scrapped daylight saving we would be on GMT year round.

We would switch to BST, its well known that BST fits best for modern life.
