I don't agree. Anymore than the US (or anybody else) lost their sovereignty when they joined the UN.
But it's not something I really have time to argue about at the moment.
I'll just rely on my studies of British constitutional law, and my decades of service to the Crown in saying I'm pretty confident in my view.
In actual fact, this whole debacle over recent months have proven one thing.
The core of the British constitution still exists - Parliament is still sovereign.
I wish Parliament hadn't taken some of the positions it did, but the fact it was able to force the Prime Minister into compliance is proof that that centre still holds.
The UK Supreme Court on the other hand... if I have my way, bringing that to heel will be the next step. But at least it is a British court, even if it needs to learn it is subservient to Parliament.

The US doesn’t submit to the the UN.
But the UK submits to the EU.
Or all those laws coming outta Brussels that the UK’s citizens are required to abide by under threat of criminal and/or civil penalty just gentle suggestions?
BTW, last I knew the UK still lacked a formal, written constitution protecting citizens from their government.
If you guys manage to kick the EU to the curb, I’d get right on correcting that. Feel free to crib ours. Especially the first ten amendments. :-)
