Dammit in reply to @Oliver Schick

I don't really understand why the full legal advice is considered so important, but I suspect the fact that the Government is trying to withhold it suggests that there may be something there, although I'd be surprised if there were some kind of smoking gun. Or could it be a false trail to distract from something else?

Because the advice will contain a section called "how we could break the terms of the withdrawal agreement" or something similar - and I imagine the government doesn't want the routes that they have mapped out for screwing the EU made public.

I doubt that kind of thing would appear in the same document though (I've no experience with this, it might...)?

Isn't the simplest explanation that there's something bad / very bad in the legal advice that they want buried for now.

Well, we may be about to find out.

But why wouldn't you hide it in the same document that you were sure would not be published, as it isn't normal practice to do so? That way, you would make it readily available to all those who 'need to know', but keep it away from prying eyes.
