When the Lies Were Exposed, Hermer's Instinct Was to Attack the Soldiers. On 19 April 2014, a document emerged at the Al-Sweady Inquiry that ended the case. A personnel list, written in Arabic, identified nine of Richard Hermer's Iraqi clients as members of the Office of the Martyr al-Sadr, another name for the Mahdi Army, the Iran-backed militia that had ambushed British soldiers at the Battle of Danny Boy a decade earlier. The clients had claimed to be innocent farmers and labourers caught in crossfire. The document proved they were armed insurgents. The inquiry, which had already cost thirty-one million pounds, was heading toward its inevitable conclusion. The following day, Hermer wrote an email. He was not writing to the soldiers who had spent years under false accusation. He was not writing to Lance Corporal Brian Wood, who had won a Military Cross fighting the same insurgents his clients represented and who had been falsely branded a war criminal for his trouble. He was writing to comfort a junior solicitor at Leigh Day who had failed to recognise the significance of the document that had just destroyed their case. He told her she was making an extraordinary contribution to securing justice for torture victims in Iraq. He told her her work had made a real difference to people's lives. Then he added that this was not something the lead counsel for the British soldiers, or his clients, could ever say. The lead counsel for the British soldiers was Sir Neil Garnham, now a High Court judge. His clients were the men Hermer had spent years pursuing on false charges. At the moment those charges were collapsing under the weight of documentary evidence, Hermer's verdict was that the lawyers pursuing them had contributed more to society than the soldiers they had falsely accused. Documents obtained by the Daily Telegraph show Hermer also described legitimate criticism from a former SAS officer and a Conservative MP as the military establishment venting after years of facing scrutiny over Iraq. Decorated soldiers and their advocates raising concerns about a case built on lies were, in Hermer's private assessment, simply letting off steam. A further email shows him acknowledging it was inevitable that some of the Iraqi cases were going to collapse. He was not troubled by what that collapse revealed about the claims he had been advancing. He was concerned about its effect on the remaining civil cases and the likelihood of future settlements. Then there is the Shiner question. In 2015, with Phil Shiner already under investigation by the solicitors' watchdog, Hermer described him publicly as having brought extraordinarily important cases and exposed systemic use of torture by the British Army. In a private email from the same period he called Shiner an arse. In 2019, after Shiner was struck off, Hermer described his conduct as an unforgivable act of dishonesty. Shiner was later convicted of fraud. The public position shifted with the political weather. The private view had always been different. Hermer is now Attorney General. One of his primary functions is to advise on the legality of military operations. The man who decides whether British soldiers can lawfully act is the same man who, at the moment his false case against them collapsed, wrote that they had made less of a difference to people's lives than the lawyers pursuing them. Brian Wood has called him clearly unfit to remain in post. A former head of the Army says his position is untenable. The Bar Standards Board has been asked to investigate. A leading Labour peer has called him an arrogant progressive fool. Starmer has said nothing. The machine keeps running.

Yesterday in Brighton a Methodist Church hosted a ‘Sparring 4 Palestine’ fundraiser. Several of the fighters were wearing shirts erasing Israel from the map. A Holocaust denier also had a stall. Is this really appropriate in a Christian space?

It’s incredible that our latest party political broadcast was banned. Maybe because the content was so disgusting. Please note that every word read out by the actor had been said by a Reform UK politician, candidate or advisor. Please watch 👇🏻 x.com/UKLabour/statu…

Our latest Party Election Broadcast cannot be shown in full on TV. But we think you should see it anyway - uncensored. youtube.com/watch?v=to4z3C…

Former Palestine Action hunger striker Heba Muraisi and her friends making the triangle sign — seen as coded support for Hamas. This was outside court for the 6 on trial for an attack on Elbit Systems where a police officer was hit with a sledgehammer. Justice is a joke to them.

Turn on the London marathon for 5 minutes. Massive Palestine flags flying at the start line. Then on repeated lampposts etc. I’ll get gaslit and abused for saying this but, simply put, it’s an attempt at ideological domination, and a symbol of the Islamisation of our cultural life. The flag of a foreign land, governed by literal jihadist terrorists, who hate Britain, hate the West, and are dedicated to the eradication of Jews. Oh and who recently mass-murdered every ‘infidel’ they could find. It’s forced on us endlessly. And people are scared to push back against it. The average Brit does not want this. The constant sectarian politicisation and corruption of all areas of our social life. It’s not ‘organic’ either. It’s pushed by a vocal and shameless minority of activists. And it’s the result of the importation into, and spread across our nation of, sectarian Islam, which is of course backed up and bolstered by the cult-left and self-hating woke dogmatists.

Britain could lose the Falklands because of weak leadership. It's not the 80s anymore, there's no Thatcher in charge and the UK is a depressing shell of its former self. If Argentina simply walks in and takes over, possibly soon with Trump's approval, what exactly will Keir Starmer do? Send an angry worded letter? Would he even care at all?

On what do you base that claim? And, while you’re at it, remind me of European military help in 1982.

Last night, Bushra Shaikh addressed a pro-regime rally in Iran, flanked by IRGC and Basij militants. The rally also backed Hezbollah, a terrorist group proscribed by the UK. Strip this evil terrorist propagandist of her British citizenship and ban her from Britain. Enough!

One of the saddest and loneliest walks you will ever do is that from the vets when your dog has been put to sleep. Carrying the empty lead and collar, you then return to a house full of toys and with food bowls. It really is a devastating experience. RIP Ben 2007 to 2016.

Insightful thoughtful commentary just dropped from a Canary journalist. Certainly a lot to think about, you can see the amount of research and well considered argument she put into it.
