The Attorney General, Lord Hermer, is facing criticism from his own Labour colleagues, with one MP describing him as 'personally unbearable'. His determination to prioritize lawyers over politicians is hindering the government's ability to get things done. Hermer's career has involved representing anti-British individuals and advocating for human rights law. His influence on government policies, such as the Chagos surrender and advice on International Criminal Court rulings, has raised concerns about his true motivations. The disquiet within his own party and his activist approach to the law make him a vulnerable figure.
