["PM Starmer told to sack legal chief over 'Nazi' slur"
reads the front page of the Daily Mail.
Sir Keir Starmer is reportedly facing
"mounting pressure" to "sack"
his attorney general
for apparently comparing right-wing
politicians to Nazis. Lord Hermer's
comments come after he reportedly
criticised Reform UK and the Tories
for saying Britain should quit institutions
like the European Convention
on Human Rights.
Columnist Sarah Vine - and ex-wife
of Conservative MP Michael Gove - teases some
advice from her forthcoming memoir
for "How NOT to be a political wife".]






[The attorney general has apologised
for a “clumsy” remark that compared
Conservative and Reform calls to disregard
international treaties and quit the
European convention of human rights (ECHR)
with the early days of Nazi Germany.

In a speech on Thursday, Richard Hermer
defended the government’s commitment
to abide by international law and likened
those who wanted to ignore it to
German jurists in the 1930s,
such as Carl Schmitt.

His words were criticised by
Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage.

The Conservative leader accused
Lord Hermer of “starting from a
position of self-loathing,
where Britain is always wrong and
everyone else is right” and
demanded an apology.]
