British Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit plans are off to a bad start in the House of Commons, with her government being found in contempt of parliament for the first time ever.<br />This came after the government refused to publish the full legal advice underpinning its Brexit plan. <br />MPs voted on a motion demanding full disclosure and London has now committed to publishing the legal advice on Wednesday.<br />MPs also backed calls for the Commons to have a direct say in Brexit proceedings if May's proposal is rejected after a week of debates.<br />Meanwhile, in a boost to campaigners who want the UK to remain in the EU, a top European law officer says the British government should be able to unilaterally cancel its withdrawal from the bloc.<br />In an opinion prepared for the European Court of Justice, Advocate General Campos Sanchez-Bordona notes that a country wishing to leave the EU also has the power to change its mind during the two-year exit process specified in Article 50 of the Lisbon treaty.<br />He added that the country should be able to do so without the consent of the other 27 EU member states. <br />
