Dominic Grieve, the Conservative former attorney general, has used an article in the Evening Standard to declare that no proper “sovereign parliament” would pass the EU (withdrawal) bill in its current form. He said:
The government has correctly recognised that this EU law cannot all be changed into domestic law at once. This is why the bill seeks to incorporate this law into our own statute book to ensure continuity, except where there is an immediate intention to bring in something different, such as in respect of immigration.
Unfortunately, the withdrawal bill is not, at present, up to addressing these issues. Even more worryingly, it seeks to confer powers on the government to carry out Brexit in breach of our constitutional principles, in a manner that no sovereign parliament should allow.

What I find sad but unsurprising is that the Leave campaign went on and on about "taking back control" and Parliamentary sovereignty and yet when this flawed Bill is put forward they are quiet.
Maybe they hate the EU so much they are prepared to accommodate Leaving at any cost
