May’s Enemies Step Up Attacks Over Legal Advice: Brexit Update

Bloomberg — Theresa May was forced to publish the previously secret legal advice given to her Cabinet on the Brexit deal — and it gives a potentially explosive verdict on the divorce terms she struck with the European Union.

Key Developments:
• Government publishes 6-page legal advice that Attorney General Geoffrey Cox sent to May on Brexit deal
• Advice says U.K. will be legally trapped “indefinitely” in the Irish border backstop, which pro-Brexit Tories hate because it binds Britain to EU rules they want to escape
• Cox: It’s a “political decision” for May, but U.K. could be caught in backstop for “many years” while “protracted” talks continue on future trade deal
• Labour, DUP and Tory MPs step up attacks on May over her Brexit agreement
