Sovereignty is bunk anyway. I literally could not care less about it. What I care about is freedom, which the Tories have been eroding since 2010. Sovereignty is abstract, elite, detached. It’s also utterly undefined and lied about (“we can’t control our borders whilst a member of the EU”… turned out, we can’t control our borders because the Tory party doesn’t want to pay for it.) Freedom is measurable and essential. Entire demographics have been disenfranchised under the clumsy and draconian voter ID rules. We can no longer “pop across to France”, we have to sit in passport control queues. We don’t have enough food. THOSE things are real things. Sovereignty? Just a buzzword.

Eight years later, Brexit is the disaster I thought it would be, and I have yet to see any of these supposed benefits materialise.

Sovereignty is a double edged sword, in my opinion. On the one hand, whilst in the EU we had less power to make some decisions, on the other hand, UK citizens had more protections from an authoritarian government, as has been proven by the actions to date of the Tory government since Brexit, and also by their future intentions. The intent to leave the ECHR is an absurd one to hold, the only countries in Europe to leave it have been Russia and Belarus prior to the invasion of Ukraine, Greece, after a military takeover, who later rejoined once democracy was restored. The only reason to leave is to impose restrictions on the rights and freedoms of your own citizens. The Tories deliberately created the "small boats" problem, and are attempting to use it to further restrict our own rights and freedoms, unless you think the recent restrictions on your right to protest are a good thing.

This is what people needed to learn, the tiny amount we gave up gave us so much more in return. Yes we had to take some rules, but we participated in creating those rules, a large proportion where even our ideas. The economic return was enormous. The general public who truely voted brexit will now (some with more time required) see what we have lost, how it has hurt us, etc. We will eventually rejoin, but without all our previous optouts and extra benefits. Now is not the time to do this though, the general populous is not fully onboard mentally for that. We may be able to move towards aligning with the EU, perhaps enshrining certain concepts in law for greater trade access, etc. But this is at the whim of the EU, a group that is probably not to pleased with our crazy behaviour over the last 10 years.

Brexit was a dream by many, to return to a time that never actually existed. I'm thinking Warmington-on-Sea, The Good Life, Terry & June, Trumpton, A clip round the ear from the village Bobby ...etc. A fantasy land.

I read at the weekend that Kemi Badenoch is now claiming that Brexit is a ten or twenty year project. I don’t remember seeing that emblazoned on the side of a bus eight years ago. Nor do I recall Johnson, Gove or Farage mentioning it even once.

Poor old Cash. He cares so deeply. He informs himself so superficially.

My answer to Cash’s claim about the UK having ‘regained’ its sovereignty is that the UK Parliament sat, debated and passed laws with pauses for elections during the whole of the time that it was a member state of the European Community and European Union (1973-2020). Its response to the invasion of the Falkland Islands and South Georgia in 1982 to assemble, command and despatch a task force to liberate them would not have been possible unless that Parliament was sovereign. QED.

I still didnt hear from those brexiteers, what kind of laws they did or want to make with their new sovereignty and how those could benefit the british people. So far everything they have done was lowering the standards they couldnt lower before, so well done I guess?

He is the voice we need.

Bill Cash leaves voluntarily before he is kicked out by a vote of no confidence from his former supporters and voters and this coward doesn't want to face the music, and the voters.

Given how utterly brilliant Brexit was going to be right after the referendum result, let alone leaving the EU according to leading brexiters, the pandemic and the Ukrainian war should not be able to mask its supposed benefits. If the abstract notion of sovereignty is all Cash has to fall back on after eight years, then he knows he's championed nothing and indeed less than nothing.

I think a lot of people voted Brexshit because they wanted to prevent those going abroad for their holidays and prevent anyone seeing how other people organised their lives. It was spite pure and simple, without understanding how much their own lives would become more impoverished.

Watch someone spin that as a Brexit benefit.

Apart from his opinion every person in the country is worse off.

Bill Cash, a walking advert for the Ester Rantzen law!!

A simpler argument would be that if there was no sovereignty within the EU, then the UK would have been inable to act upon the result of the referendum. Even Westminister has warned Scotland that irrespective of any independence referendum it will not be the sole determining factor as to whether Scotland can enact independence. It has also warned that if Scotland does go independent it Westminster will not relinquish the natural reaources of the North Sea which would effectively be within Scottish territorial waters. Now THAT is a lack of sovereignty when part of a Union.

The world renowned director David Putnam moved to Ireland because of Brexit, a great benefit to Ireland and he's a gentleman to boot!

Mike descriptions of sovereignty is a great point. Brexiters seem to think it is an absolute, when it is in reality a give and take.

I hope the sovereignty tastes good .

Cash but Dead. WHY does he go on about "sovereignty"? He is English, (therefore an ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT), the home of the "mother of Parliaments". Why, if he believes that "sovereignty" is so damned important, doesn't he campaign for the "sovereignty" to be returned to the first country they ever invaded, and annexed it, JUST AS RUS DID WITH CRIMEA. If "sovereignty" is so important, to this fine example of The Walking Dead, then Cymru/Wales deserves it as well, does it not? England invaded Éire/Ireland over 800 years ago, and would still occupy the whole island, JUST LIKE RUS WITH CRIMEA, if the Irish hadn't fought, and beaten, the English, kicking them, and their foreign monarchy, out for good. That brings up the point of "sovereignty" on another front. Since England hasn't had an English king since 1066, why is he not campaigning for THAT sovereignty to be restored? Scotland, well the self-appointed rulers, did decide to let their, false, king, to also become the false king of England. BUT, the Act of Union was broken, by the English, in its 3rd year of operation. Why is that not challenged by Cash, with his obsession about the Rule of Law? His type of "sovereignty" is all about, as with everything in England, maintaining the lifestyle of the RICH, the class system is what he thinks is entitled to be "sovereign". "Sovereignty" does not apply to the serfs/slaves, just those like him. He is the peak, in his warped mind, of the ultimate "English-in-charge-of-the-HOI POLLOI", the Uber Menschen ruling the Unter Menschen.

If you are going to put forward this absurd argument at least have the decency to remember that the 'English' aristocracy is mostly descended from the Normans, who exterminated or usurped most of the Anglo Saxon nobility.

You were lied to, mate, along with so many others...

What EU decisions did Bill Cash not like? He doesn't say. One of the last EU decisions made in council concerned the use in industry and services like funeral directors, of a chemical proven to cause cancer. One country voted against. The UK. The others were in favour. WHY? Sovereignty? If we are to ban such things it is right that we ban it everywhere and not expose only UK funeral directors to these dangers.

I've always been confused what sovereignty actually is in terms of Brexit. The UK had sovereignty within the EU, in fact, I struggle to think of a single law that the EU has forced upon the UK

My friend and his family are so lucky. He married a lady who had Irish parents and grand parents. Now she and their two young daughters have applied for and been given additional Irish passports. They can now travel, live and work in any of the EU member states. My friend however, not being of Irish decent, is likely not to have that freedom although he hopes that being married to an EU citizen might help him avoid the mile long queues at border control when he travels with his wife. We shall see.

What does Bill Cash think about Scotland's sovereignty? The truth is that in a union like the United Kingdom we share sovereignty but it means that the majority gets its way. Britain was not sovereign in the EU but nobody said it would be. Nor is hungary or the United States sovereign in NATO. Each argues its case but in the end we either go along with the majority or we leave. The UK chose to leave and the EU respected that choice. But the consequences were dire. As the UK is now discovering to its cost.

When the UK was in the EU it didn't give up any sovereignty; it, along with all the other member states, pooled some of their sovereignty into a common exercise of that sovereignty.

Cash has caused a lot of damage to the UK.

What is the difference between the UK's sovereignty and that of the other 26 European democracies which are still fully functioning members of the EU ?? Why is it OK for them, but not good enough for the UK ?? And after Brexit, any thoughts about leaving the EU by any of those 26 countries was quickly quashed, by all accounts. And, if the EU is such a terrible institution, why do more countries want to join it - Ukraine in particular.

This should be highlighted everyday.

Even North Korea does not have 100% sovereignty. Why would any county want to disengage its self from all international treaties that limit it sovereignty to have 100%. The UK has been signing treaties since and before it came into existence. The act of union is such a document, Bill Cash is, I assume, still a Unionist.

The thing is, 100% sovereignty is a Dictatorship.

Spot on Mike!

When they say "make our own laws" it's a deliberately misleading phrase. By "laws" they mean "trading regulations".

They don’t care about sovereignty. It’s just a slogan to the people who don’t understand world trade and how it really matters.

He didn't even mention the fact that being inside the EU gave the UK a asay in EU law whereas the UK is now a rule taker. Tell me about sovereignty!

So, Bill Cash, tell me one law, just one, that you wanted to pass in the U.K. that membership of the EU stopped? Or one law the EU passed, which the U.K. voted through Parliament, that you disagreed with? Answers on the back of a postage stamp when you’re ready……

Well said Mike

The thing about Sovereignty, is that it’s not for the average person in the street. It’s for those in power. Whether you voted leave or remain, you have as much or as little Sovereignty as you did before Brexit. Because you are still subject to the laws and policies set out by the government of the day. So if Brexit took back Sovereignty at all, it did so for Johnson, Truss and Sunak and their billionaire friends and donors. But unless you’re one of them, not for you or I.

Mike was very succinct, you can feel the cash burn 🔥

We still had a vote on EU laws. We still got to elect representatives in the EU parliament. We didn't give up any sovereignty. Now we have no say on EU laws but have to obey them if we want to export to the EU.

We even gave up some of our sovereignty in WW2 when an American General was put in charge of the Allies. You trade bits of sovereignty for advantage and benefits. Do we want to be North Korea? Think I'll have a sovereignty salad tonight - very low in calories.

He has nothing else

While Brexiteers talked about sovereignty, control of Parliament has been taken away from the Houses and more impunity given to the government. Reducing checks and balances. Attacking the British legal system and excluding opposition parties is not the behaviour of a government trying for representation of the people. We’ve taken any sovereignty gained from leaving the EU and moved it from our democratic process straight to a corrupt ruling party.

The Tories want back the sovereignty King John had before he signed Magna Carta.

A CASH-LESS Commons is a very welcome prospect!

As excellent as ever.

Mr Cash neglected to mention the all-important benefit: BLUE Passports!

My favourite game is called, "tell me a positive about Brexit without lying!". Nobody ever wants to play though.

Cash really got his hand slapped.

The Brexiteers’ frame of the EU was always as if the UK had no influence and all regulations were imposed onto the UK without haveing any power. In fact the UK voted in favour of 97% of all EU regulations and was a co-writer of many of these. There are still many areas in EU policy where every country can veto new regulations.
