But that would mean taking Parliament seriously, which isn't what the Tories do.

Yeah, there is that. The reason they abstained was because they knew they were going to lose though, so don't think it makes much difference.
When walking this tight rope, May's strategy has been to make it to tomorrow. At the time, waving a vote through was seen as less bad than outright losing it and so they chose the less bad option.
I don't really care if the advice is published, but as I'm holding out for a people's vote, anything that pushes that closer is all good for me. This is certainly not helping May's cause.

Yeah, Dominic Grieve, who knows about this kind of thing, was on C4 news last night saying requiring the government to publish advice from their attorney is madness.
It could have detail about which member states may have issues with different areas of the deal, and recommend strategies for managing this going forward. Not things you want either in the open for the press, or for those on the other side of the negotiating table.
