Mrs May's hypocrisy has been made clear with the news that she and her advisor Nick Timothy wrote a detailed pamphlet in 2007 (HERE) saying ministers should gain Parliamentary approval before talks with the European Union. This is of course quite the opposite of what she is saying now.
The pamphlet is HERE.
It heaps praise on Denmark for the way that ministers have to obtain a mandate from the Danish parliament for their negotiating position before" they go into any kind of negotiation with the EU. The discussions are held in private but a summary is published afterwards of the items on the agenda although the specific mandate remains private.
In the pamphlet she argues it should be impossible to override parliament.
