His comments aren't aimed at you - they're aimed at the liberal-minded leavers who didn't think the Government would intervene in business affairs in the ways which it is suggesting eg details of foreign employees, price controls on utility companies.

It's not a case of taking back control, it's a case of losing control. Alongside ARM, post-Brexit we've lost UK ownership of to Cath Kidston (Hong Kong), Odeon (China via AMC USA), and Poundland (South Africa).
Of course, the difficulty in all of these takeovers is whether they would have happened without Brexit anyway. Only long-terms stats will give us that informatioin.
