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.
It is most certainly not nonsense. Legal advice is never given in full because it contains the full picture, including what the other side (in this case, the EU) can use against you.

Government has not ignored Parliament. Following the vote, it has agreed to release the full advice. However, this is almost unprecedented.

It would be better if they actually had a plan which delivered the result of the referendum.
