Britain’s foremost constitutional expert issues a chilling warning
‘Undermining of sovereignty’, ‘long-planned assault on our constitution’, – veteran constitutional campaigner Sir Bill Cash’s blistering indictment on the new government
In one of his most significant interventions since stepping down as an MP last year, veteran constitutional campaigner Sir Bill Cash re-enters the political fray with a savage indictment on the disastrous constitutional path this government is now heading down.
The veteran sovereignty campaigner and constitutional authority issues a clear warning about what is unfolding under Starmer’s leadership and as part of our new ‘Stand for Our Sovereignty’ (SOS) campaign, we are honoured and delighted to share Sir Bill’s thoughts on the matter which we publish below.
Sir Bill provides a withering analysis on the Government’s assault on our parliamentary sovereignty, carried out behind closed doors and without proper scrutiny or public approval.

Starmer and his cabal are sacrificing our sovereignty on the altar of internationalist ideology
By Sir Bill Cash
Since the General election, the Labour Government has pursued a vendetta undermining our sovereignty. This sovereignty is democracy in our Parliament, to which the voters send MPs to make your laws. It is what people fought and died for, and which we celebrated in the VE Day celebrations.
This undermining of sovereignty by Sir Keir Starmer and David Lammy, his Foreign Secretary, not to mention his virulent internationalist Attorney General, is a long-planned assault on our constitution and on our self-government and on the Brexit Referendum votes of 2016.
The assault has accumulated into a critical mass, including Acts of Parliament and the misuse of Treaty-making powers. More is in the pipeline, hidden behind closed doors.
Taking out the usual Parliamentary scrutiny
Since the abolition of the European Scrutiny Committee last year, within a month of the General Election, a one line motion without debate has enabled a Government Cabal coordinated by the Cabinet Office Minister Nick Thomas Symond, the Minister for the Constitution and European Relations, to go about the betrayal in secret without parliamentary scrutiny.
The attacks on our sovereignty streaming out of this cabal like a tsunami include the UK-EU Summit, legislative proposals and enactments such as The Product Regulation and Metrology Bill, by promoting dynamic alignment with the EU and subjugating us again to European Court jurisdiction by unconstitutional means.
The costs – Chagos, losing Northern Ireland, loss of hope to control illegal immigration
They also include, as is now widely known, outrageous financial payments to Mauritius on the despicable Chagos Deal, which undermines our defences and intelligence systems, the new treaty proposals with the EU compromising our sovereignty on Gibraltar again, with massive consequences for defence and intelligence.
On top of this there is the ramping up of the betrayal of Northern Ireland as part of the UK through amplification of the notorious Windsor Framework and the failure to override international law and the ECHR in respect of illegal migration against which a huge number of Conservative MPS in the last Parliament voted on my amendment and against Third Reading and which Rishi Sunak has now admitted he got wrong.
The dangers of mis-using a large majority
This dreadful situation is made even worse by the wanton loss of about 100 Conservative seats, which has led to the virtual elimination of accountability on all the Parliamentary Select Committees, who are now dominated by Labour MPs effectively subservient to their masters in government. This is because the rules for appointments to Select Committees are always by proportionality of seats.
Individually, each of these issues is immensely damaging to our national interest, but cannot be reversed because of Labour’s huge majority for years to come.
The fightback against this surrender
As with the Maastricht Rebellion in the early 1990’s this whole destructive process must be challenged and defeated, and this is already underway with the coming together of highly experienced and battle hardened patriotic groups under the banner of “Stand for Our Sovereignty” (SOS) and individuals who will be coordinating a strategy of defiant campaigning throughout the country.
It must also be fought in the written and visual media online to stir up public opinion and reveal the betrayal of the nation by this Labour Government, and as I put it in my Sunday Telegraph article, the party’s sacrificing of our sovereignty on the altar of internationalist Ideology.
