That's from a separate line:
"Oh, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you."

Brexit: Owen Smith opposes Article 50 move without vote - BBC News

The Brexit saga is still simmering, and may not even be ratified if Owen Smith has his way. So until we know for absolutely certain where the UK is going to position itself over the next year or so, calling for English regional autonomy (or States, perhaps), is moot.
