Anyway, put the daughter to bed, fed the animals and made dinner.
Time to fill me boots.
● Restored democratic control over our lawmaking. We gave the power to make and scrutinise the laws that apply to us back to our Parliament and the devolved Parliaments so that they are now made in Belfast, Cardiff, Edinburgh and London, not Brussels.
● Restored the UK Supreme Court as the final arbiter of the law that applies in the UK. UK judges, sitting in UK courts, now determine the law of the land in the UK, with judgments issued in English, not French, and accessible to those who speak Welsh.
Bit lazy on my behalf but I'm going to copy and paste the counter arguements from an online publication.
‘RESTORED DEMOCRATIC CONTROL OVER OUR LAWMAKING’
Even if the EU had democratic control over UK lawmaking – which was never the case – the UK Government has not returned power to the British people. In reality, Boris Johnson has monopolised power in Downing Street, repeatedly and flagrantly violating the rules of Parliament and minimising the influence of his Cabinet.
Moreover, the Government has actively pursued authoritarian legislation that will in fact diminish the powers and freedoms of the British people – including laws to criminalise protests, disenfranchise marginalised voters, arbitrarily strip citizenship, and deny the right to asylum.
‘RESTORED THE UK SUPREME COURT AS THE FINAL ARBITER OF THE LAW THAT APPLIES IN THE UK’
While this may be true to some extent, the UK Government is engaged in a protracted and heated row with the EU about the ongoing oversight of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) over the Northern Ireland Protocol – which governs the post-Brexit trading terms between the EU, Britain and Northern Ireland.
The UK agreed to this arrangement during Brexit negotiations, only later deciding that it isn’t comfortable with the role of the ECJ.
What’s more, although Brexit may have increased the authority of UK courts, Boris Johnson’s Government is simultaneously attempting to curtail the power of the judiciary –
seeking to reform the ways in which judicial reviews can challenge the decisions of government.
