Well it wouldn't be a first time that a New Labout Ministers actions or intentions have been deemed illegal would it. It's Jack Straw's speciality.....
Anyway her legal advice is that she does have that right - hence her decision. My point is that she doesn't have to exercise that right. Given her appalling record it'd be a pretty shameless thing to do, which is why she'll probably go ahead.
Massively dodgy contracts certainly seem to be the order of the day in UK PLC.
