there is nothing legally binding about the Political Declaration (i.e. the future relation

ship)

there would be no legal advice to give on that matter - the legal advice can only deal with the legally binding bit - that's the withdrawal agreement, that's the bit that negotiations have finished on.

the backstop is NOT the agreed future relationship - it's what there is if negotiations fail
