The current line of Brexiteer thinking seems to be

'we need our heroic unelected institutions to save us from the decisions of our elected representatives, in order to give power back to our elected representatives, because it's been taken by an unelected institution'
A good reason to get rid of the hangers on then.....
 
A new PM can change that bill if they had a majority government.......

Parliaments can pass pretty much what they want, although I think some acts can be future proofed. Cant remember the process nor the name given to them though.

That's just the legislative process. Most laws are written with societal and technological changes in mind and contentious elements clarified through the judicial process. Laws are amended or superceded by other laws if they are deemed inadequate or where particular priciples need to be codified like Health and Safety at Work Act or Civil Contingencies Act.

Where there is a disagreement between the Lord's and Parliament the Parliament Acts 1911 and 1949 are used to settle it, like the Sexual Offences Act 2000 or Hunting Act 2004.
