The Prime Minister is a void

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


William Atkinson has a useful CAPX piece on Keir Starmer’s preference for rule by lawyers rather than Parliament.

Starmer’s ‘rule of lawyers’ is sidelining Parliament

  • Starmer’s repeal of Troubles legislation will allow Gerry Adams to claim compensation
  • The idea sovereignty lies in Parliament, not the courts, is anathema to Keir Starmer
  • Labour are elevating legal institutions above the decisions of politicians

Not an unfamiliar debacle, Starmer has quite a collection of debacles already, but the whole piece is well worth reading.

The Prime Minister is a void: a late middle-aged man of conventional, soft-left opinions, who thought that being our premier might be an entertaining late-stage career change. He doesn’t really understand economics and growth. He has no experience in foreign policy. But he really, really cares about human rights law.

Starmer has been an MP for under a decade, but has been studying and practicing law since the 1980s. His instinct in a dispute between Parliament and the courts is to assume that the latter is in the right. Having been wowed by the European Convention on Human Rights as a student, his view of human rights is naturally expansive – a decision best encapsulated by his appointment of Richard Hermer as Attorney General.

Hermer is a long-time friend and mentee of Starmer: the Plato to his Socrates, the Harrison to his McCartney, the Lewis to his Morse. Both were early human rights law specialists, with Hermer taking a particular interest in international law. As Yuan Yi Zhu outlines, the pair share a ‘thick’ conception of the rule of law, treating it as a wide-ranging set of liberal values that check Parliament’s authority.
