🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨 Lord Hermer is not fit to oversee Labour’s Troubles bill after his “betrayal” of British troops, former SAS leaders have claimed. The Attorney General is facing calls to resign as the UK’s top lawyer after The Telegraph exposed his role in one of the most notorious witch hunts in British military history. Lord Hermer, a close political ally of Sir Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister, is now working alongside ministers on the Government’s new Northern Ireland bill, which will scrap immunity protections for veterans facing court hearings over incidents during the Troubles. Labour claimed the immunities given as part of the Tories’ previous Legacy Act, which Sir Keir scrapped, were “incompatible with the European Convention on Human Rights” because it could prevent rights violations from being properly investigated. Former military chiefs, however, have repeatedly warned that the new law, which as Attorney General Lord Hermer has a close role in overseeing, would open up a Pandora’s box of legal claims and risks elderly veterans being dragged through the courts. Two former SAS commanders have criticised the situation, insisting Lord Hermer must quit, while Sir David Davis, a Tory MP and former SAS reservist, said the Attorney General should step away from dealing with the Troubles bill.
