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.
