Not at all shameful for the government to take that position. But those who forced that vote through can rightly be described as treacherous.

That's what happens when a government is in a minority. Nothing new here.
Absolute nonsense. The convention is to not publish legal advice to Ministers, not to ignore the will of Parliament. Especially on a matter of national importance where as you all claim it should define our country for years, possibly generations to come.

Government cannot simply ignore Parliament. That’s not how it works in this country. It will find itself skating on very thin ice if it continues to do so.

Only one body is entitled to ignore the will of Parliament today. Parliament tomorrow.
