"Take back control", or sometimes "let's take back control", was a British political slogan associated with the Brexit referendum, popularised by the Vote Leave campaign. It was used by supporters of Brexit, Britain's withdrawal from the European Union. The slogan implied that Britain's sovereignty, ability to make its own laws and ability to control its borders had been lost due to its membership of the EU and would return after withdrawal. It has been associated with anti-immigration sentiment.[1][2][3][4] Created by then director of Vote Leave Dominic Cummings,[5] it is cited as one of the "three word slogans" that have been used frequently in British politics.[4][6]
