Government in contempt

Theresa May's government has become the first ever found in contempt of Parliament

Theresa May suffered three defeats in the Commons yesterday as her government was found to be in contempt of Parliament by MPs. Leader of the House, Andrea Leadsom, says the government will publish its full legal advice on Brexit, but "any parliamentarian who wants at some point in the future to be in government, is going to live to regret their vote".
