This is bullshit, he is not a lefty lawyer and is merely trying to make legal the mass deportation plans that currently illegal under human rights laws.

Another nod to Reform. What next, trailing a referendum before 2029 on the return of the death penalty?

Greater love hath no man than he lays down his principles for himself.

starmer is not, and has never been a lefty lawyer. His role in left wing groups has always been a wrecker, and his human rights work has mostly taken the side against human rights

Starmer - the man who colluded in the torture of Julian Assange wants to shake up human rights?
What next leaving theI CC and ICJ to join non-signatories like America and Israel, states who refuse to abide by international law.

He is no longer either of those things. He is a right wing, opportunist, self serving, politician.
