THE government is set to attend court tomorrow over what campaigners argue was an “utterly undemocratic” decision to heavily redact documents from post-Brexit trade talks.

The documents, which include minutes from talks with the United States, were released to campaign group Global Justice Now in 2019 under the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act, but were almost entirely redacted.

Leaked copies of the same papers were famously held up during the 2019 general election campaign by then Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who said they were proof that the NHS was “on the table” during several years of negotiations with the US.
