lord hermer, a man who has represented gerry adams, the group representing shamima begum. as well, slagging off the now president of the united states, donald trump, in this leaked audio recording. >> the most prominent proposition politician in the world. and he's also perhaps the most brazen liar that one has ever kind of come across in a political position. i mean, politicians have always lied, but this is on a different scale and of a different nature. >> so starmer apparently knew herma from their days at doughty street chambers together, so they seem to be old friends and clearly share similar political views, which i think should be terrifying for us all. herma also reportedly represented sri lankan asylum seekers who we are now taking as part of this chagos deal. now, many people have suggested that he has a conflict of interest, and he has refused to say whether or not he will be making any money from legal cases like gerry adams or chagos. i mean, if this was the tories, this simply would not stand, would it? so perhaps herma needs to get this deal over the line.
