"A Labour source said Jenrick's comments are an attempt to disguise his own poor grip of the law. The source pointed out that a judge last month criticised the Tory MP for risking the collapse of a murder trial. Jenrick thinks personal attacks are a good replacement for a basic understanding of the law. The attorney general is changing things for the better, including helping deliver the Hillsborough law, while Jenrick nearly collapses murder trials with his tweets."
"Like one of those infamous mafia lawyers of yesteryear, Hermer always chose a particular type of client Shamima Begum, Osama bin Laden's right-hand man, terrorists involved in 7/7. Since taking office, the advice we're told Lord Hermer has given to Starmer and his cronies, like to give away the Chagos islands to an ally of China and to pay billions of pounds for the privilege in each and every one of these incidents, he's wasted no time establishing himself as a useful idiot for our enemies."
Robert Jenrick delivered a combative speech accusing Attorney General Lord Hermer of acting like a mafia lawyer and of being a useful idiot for Britain’s enemies, citing clients such as Shamima Begum and alleged advice on the Chagos islands. Labour accused Jenrick of mounting personal attacks to hide a poor grasp of the law and noted a judge recently criticised Jenrick for risking the collapse of a murder trial. The attorney general has represented Grenfell families, worked on a Ukraine crimes taskforce, defended lawyers’ professional obligations, and helped deliver the Hillsborough law.
