![Before the referendum, David Davis regularly encouraged us to believe Britain’s sovereignty had been stolen away by the EU. “It is time for Britain to take control of its own destiny”, he had said, accusing the EU of “taking away vast sovereign powers from member states”, and claiming, “We need a new deal with Europe [which] keeps law-making powers in Westminster, not Brussels”.
In the first days of February, he introduced the white paper setting out Britain’s plans for Brexit. It reads: “Whilst Parliament has remained sovereign throughout our membership of the EU, it has not always felt like that”.
Yes, you did read that correctly.
Tory MPs had already admitted they didn’t believe in either the economic, trade, or immigration arguments for Brexit, and had declared the reason we must leave the EU was “sovereignty”. And suddenly they admitted the sovereignty issue was all in their demented imaginations.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wdla6w4lqbqqdatzg6e42tz6/bafkreiasmapug5w4tdekak44ve4pjyksxt7fwcjzlva43jewcnfxorkf2a)
