Eyebrows are hitting the ceiling over Attorney General Richard Hermer, with pressure piling on the PM to recuse him of involvement in public inquiries amid growing concerns of potential conflicts of interest. Guido gives co-conspirators some of Starmer’s top legal adviser’s more curious cases against the government in the past:
Meanwhile, Hermer also advised Labour on their boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) bill targeting Israel, whilst previously pushing for the International Court of Justice to consider whether Israel qualifies as an “apartheid state.” He’s also close pals with Starmer’s mate and Mauritius’ chief legal adviser Philippe Sands from their Matrix Chambers days. Not to mention he donated £5,000 towards Starmer’s leadership campaign…
Red Wall Labour backbencher Jonathan Brash told GB News that Starmer should resign:
“I’m completely fed up about it, and I think it’s got to the point now where I genuinely think that, as far as the Prime Minister is concerned, it’s not a case of if, it’s when.”
