I think in that context it means 'keep itself informed of, keep a close eye on'.
It's a legal expression, and more strictly means 'in legal possession of' -
it's a polite way of saying, 'we're the masters now'

If May was Trump she would tell the EC to bend over and grab their ankles...

The whole Brexit-discussion reminds me of the little child that has run away from home and says to himself:"That serves my parents right if I die!"
The issue here is Briton is a major trading partner with the EU. Just beating their ass will help neither.

Unfortunately the rule seems to be "Disengage Brain (and Moral Compass) when entering the House".
Do you have any idea how long it took me to page through 361 pages to read this?!?!?!
When do you folks east of me wake up???

That's exactly what I am thinking too already 2,5 years. After all, in a worst case, it is her heritage, the United Kingdom itself, that may fall apart. But all we hear from the direction of Buckingham Palace is the Harry and Meghan soap.

If she did make a personal political statement, the whole of parliament would unite in condemning her for getting involved.
Oh, wait! Don't we need a united parliament to get out of this brexit mess?

I am no authority on European politics but it seems to me that being in the European union is taking away British sovereignty. I have seen other countrys forced to take in so called refugees who destroy local culture with their demands that locals change. It is happening here in America also but we are fighting against it. The damn liberals want to give OUR country away to illegals. I hope Great Britton keeps her majestic sovereignty.

British Airways flight mistakenly lands in Scotland instead of Germany
London (CNN) — Passengers on a British Airways flight from London's City Airport to Dusseldorf in Germany were met with a surprise Monday morning when their plane touched down -- in the Scottish capital, Edinburgh.
There are so many great comments available, I'm left speechless. I'll try to come back in a little while and comment.
In the meantime, do any of our UK (or Scotland) or German viewers have anything to add?

Cynthia, I have for long minutes considered if and how I should respond to your post. I don´t want to open Pandora´s box. Just let me say that as much as I know the refugees problems are the least of all cause of the brexit discussions. First, the British have a lot more problems with there colonial heritage, second they are a long way distant from the endangered borders.
In reality it is about money. The United Kingdom - like Germany - is one of a few donor countries, who pay more to the EU than they get back in form of direct subsidies. It is very easy to overlook that the society and the economy as a whole gets back very much more than that. In the end both UK and Germany make very good money with the EU.
As far as foreigner are seen as a threat, brought about the EU, in the UK that would be the Sinti and Roma, mostly with Romanian and Bulgarian citizenship.
As both those nations are by now part of the EU, Sinti and Roma are free to live and work whereever they want. Lets just say that many people believe that Irish hobo are a nice folk in comparision.
