This might be unfashionable, but I think even "my" lawyer should give me objective legal advice. I'm free to then ignore it and say, "I want you to convince a judge you're wrong", but I don't want advice that tells me I'm likely going to win, if I am likely going to lose.
Quite a clarifying piece in The Times about how much the Labour Spad class loathe international law/and or Lord Hermer the Attorney General - "the man who makes everything impossible". The attitudes expressed are impressively indistinguishable from the previous government. "He should be our lawyer and not give objective legal advice". Hermer standing in the way of defeating Reform. Post-war legal order looks "distinctly old fashioned" and "a sinking ship". Fine to ignore ECHR if necessary to stop the boats. Chagos and respect for UN is getting in the way of "our agenda".View quoted post on X
