Didn't they say that they wouldn't never do something like this when they were talking about "muh brexit benefits" and that it was all "project fear", or am I misremembering?

I have no clue if they said that, but it doesn't even matter if they promise so, because it'll be done by different people in a future term.

Because the Brexiteers are notoriously trustworthy, civically responsible representatives of the public who would never intentionally mislead their constituents; nor lie about their intentions when drafting legislation.

Well, Brexit was specifically done to reduce peoples' rights in favour of companies' rights, so it all checks out so far.
