Lord Hermer KC in left-wing shocker

Controlling borders is 'dehumanising.'

Someone in the Labour government has it in for the Attorney General Lord Hermer KC. And I’m enjoying it. I make no apology for an update on Lord Hermer KC, who is in truth far more important and powerful than Sir Keir Starmer KC.

The Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer KC can make all sorts of statements that sound tough, such as it is the end of the line for Nimbys and blockers. Starmer’s latest tweet is:

“For too long, the blockers and Nimbys have strangled our chances of cheaper energy, growth and jobs, leaving us hostage to Putin.

I'm putting an end to it. We are changing the rules on nuclear to deliver cleaner, more affordable energy across the UK.”

I’ll believe it when I see it. Most policies that are important and capable of significant change are impossible to get past the government lawyers, then Parliament and even if that happens you are up against an army of human rights lawyers, (often former colleagues of Sir Keir Starmer KC and Attorney General Lord Hermer KC) who will judicially review the government to death given the first opportunity.

Someone has been doing some “offence archaeology” on Hermer KC and fed the following story to the Times. “Lord Hermer claimed pledge to ‘control our borders’ was de-humanising. The attorney-general has also called President Trump ‘the orange tyrant’ and described JSO protesters as ‘inspiring.’ Awkward.

We are told, “the attorney-general said that pledges to “control our borders” are de-humanising and there is a “moral argument” for Britain to pay reparations for slavery, in comments which put him at odds with key government positions, The Times can reveal.

In podcasts hosted before he entered government, Lord Hermer repeatedly hit out at Donald Trump — dubbing the US president “the orange tyrant” — and said every education secretary should be forced to read about violence in the British Empire when taking office.”
