Oh, the irony

Do the SNP not see the irony in vowing to make public details of Westminster’s negotiating strategy, but not being willing to release details of their own legal advice on the EU continuity bill? Of course, they have a poor record on revealing their legal advice, though in this case there probably is a good chance that it actually exists.

It would be comforting to at least see the front cover, but it would be democratic to release the whole report. I suspect they put their own embarrassment before the good of the country, though.
