Betrayed Britannia

At THIS POINT our democracy, our economy, our security, is at risk because of these delusion buffoons... These hard core Brexiteers have betrayed the very principles upon which our nation rests.

5 million sign a petition and 1 million march - brexiteers need to come back from the land of the unicorn and face reality. They ignore the people at their peril IMO. Britannia may be feeling battered at the moment - but as hard as they try to kill her off - she is not dead yet!

There you have it; "taking back control" turns out to mean "cutting the House of Commons out of the decision-making process, unless it feels like rubber-stamping what a PM wants, despite her ideas being massively unpopular".

The HoC has to take complete control of this process, so that it can negotiate with Brussels. It will need to appoint envoys. Ideally, it would make this clear with a vote of no confidence in the government, because that's what normally happens. We need some Tory Remainers to put country before party, and bring down their leadership in the Commons.
