Leftist British AG Hermer Compares Those Calling for Leaving the ‘European Convention on Human Rights’ to Nazis – Has To Apologize – PM Starmer Under Pressure to Fire Him

Lord Baron Hermer and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.

It’s become a routine in Keir Starmer’s unpopular British Government: some leftist secretary or top official speaks out what they really think about some polemic issue; scandal ensues; the politician has to apologize and say ‘they were misinterpreted’; Starmer falls under pressure to fire them – but doesn’t.

It’s less than a month after Lucy Powell said that the Pakistani rape gangs was a ‘dog whistle’ issue, and now the controversy surrounds the British Attorney General after he compared calls to leave the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) to ‘the rise of Nazism’.

Lord Baron Hermer was forced to apologize yesterday (30) for saying that politicians wanting to leave the ECHR are like legal experts in 1930s Germany, who ‘rejected international law and human rights in favor of state power’.

The Telegraph reported:

“Following an outcry from Conservative and Reform MPs, Lord Hermer’s spokesman said he acknowledged that ‘his choice of words was clumsy and regrets having used this reference’, in an apology released by Downing Street.

The row, an attack on the Tories and Reform, is a particular headache for Sir Keir as it comes less than a week before the Scottish Parliament by-election in Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse, where Nigel Farage’s party will challenge Labour, a month after seizing hundreds of seats in the local elections.”

Starmer’s poll numbers took a nosedive as soon as he became PM and showed voters his real policies.

Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch said Lord Hermer has shown appalling judgment time and again: ‘Now he’s calling people who disagree with him Nazis’.

“This isn’t just embarrassing, it’s dangerous. Hermer doesn’t understand government. He believes in the rule of lawyers, not the rule of law. If Keir Starmer had any backbone, he’d sack him. But will he risk upsetting his old friend and former donor? I doubt it.”

Reform UK’s Nigel Farage, who also backs leaving the ECHR, said that the damage to the nation continues, and that Hermer ‘sums up this failing Government’.

“Robert Jenrick, the shadow justice secretary who has also backed quitting the treaty, said: ‘Lord Hermer’s appalling smear shows the complete disdain with which Labour views people who care about border security. He is a liability that you can’t trust to defend Britain’s interests. Starmer hasn’t sacked him because he shares his anti-British, hard-Left world view’.”

Farage’s Reform UK is now leading the polls, leaving Starmer’s Labour behind.

There is also concern on his Labour party, where the comments are called ‘extreme and foolish’.

“A spokesman for Lord Hermer said: ‘The Attorney General gave a speech defending international law which underpins our security, protects against threats from aggressive states like Russia and helps tackle organized immigration crime. He rejects the characterization of his speech by the Conservatives. He acknowledges, though, that his choice of words was clumsy and regrets having used this reference’.”
