Lord Hermer must accept that he is in Cabinet to serve the interests of his country or his days will be numbered
Lord Harmer
HOW much more of the smug and horribly out of touch Attorney General Lord Richard Hermer must we put up with?
More than 80 per cent of the country is demanding less immigration.
1
A big chunk want none at all.
The only way we can truly wrest back control of our borders — especially to tackle illegal migration — is to fundamentally fix our relationship with the ECHR. Or quit it all together.
Breathtakingly, Lord Hermer compares any such suggestion with Nazism.
Is he really likening the thoughts of most ordinary Brits to the most evil regime in human history?
If so, then he is unfit for his office.
Despite his forced apology yesterday, his Lordship still fails to understand that he is now in Government — not performing for his legal echo chamber.
The public wants change — which is why Keir Starmer speaks of Britain becoming an ' island of strangers '.
Unless Hermer accepts that he is in Cabinet to serve the interests of his country — not his friends in the human rights lobby — his days will be numbered.
Soft cell hell
THERE will be many who feel Southport monster Axel Rudakubana doesn't deserve to still be alive.
So the idea that he continues to receive jail privileges despite launching a brutal attack on guards is sickening.
Winston Churchill would be aghast at the creeping power of Euro judges – we must ditch them, Robert Jenrick says
Why should prison officers have to face the daily threat of attack while he enjoys his home comforts?
The truth is that across the prison service beasts like Rudakubana are being molly-coddled.
Just this week, we revealed how the brother of the Manchester Arena suicide bomber was allowed to make a compensation claim for what he said were breaches of his religious rights.
Yet officers in the specialist Islamic unit where Hashem Abedi is held at Frankland Prison fear that one day a colleague will be beheaded.
Lock up these murdering scum and stop pandering to their demands.
Do your duty
WERE it not for The Sun's Keep it Down campaign, fuel prices would still be at record levels.
As it is, they are now the lowest since 2021 thanks to the cut in fuel duty fought for by this newspaper.
Ending that relief for motorists would be highly damaging for growth.
Last October, Chancellor Rachel Reeves rightly understood that scrapping the 14-year freeze would hammer working people.
She mustn't be tempted — as she grapples with a £150billion deficit — to fleece drivers already clobbered by the highest taxes in 80 years.

Police express concern over use of force after officer fired for ‘aggressively' detaining knife wielding teen
COPS are worried about using force when making arrests after a colleague was sacked for his 'aggressive' detaining of a knife-carrying teen. The Dorset Police Federation is seeking 'urgent clarification' from senior officers after PC Lorne Castle was found guilty of gross misconduct. He stepped in after the 15-year-old was suspected of assaulting two people, one and elderly man, in Bournemouth. Father-of-three Castle, 46 — winner of a national bravery award last year — had pinned him against a wall before taking him to the ground. Former officer Keith Clothier said: 'A good cop has had his career flushed down the toilet, for what? "Failing to show courtesy and respect to a knife-carrying thug. He added: 'The country is in the grip of a knife crime epidemic and this is the message we are sending out to those that would flout the law? 'Those who have been involved in this decision should hang their heads in shame, as we have good experienced officers leaving in droves because they don't feel supported in the job they once loved.' Dorset Police said: 'Tackling unethical or unacceptable behaviour remains a force priority. 'We continue to support our colleagues where they use force in a lawful and proportionate way and the standards of behaviour, that the public expect, are upheld." Former policeman Joe Terry added: 'I have never in my life seen such an outpouring of support from the public for an officer as I have in the past week."

Man City open talks with Lyon over summer deal to sign £35m-rated France new boy Rayan Cherki
Manchester City have opened talks with Lyon regarding a deal for midfielder Rayan Cherki. Pep Guardiola, who is bringing in former Liverpool coach Pep Lijnders as his new assistant, has given the green light for City to bid for Cherki after holding talks with the 21-year-old. Cherki is valued around £35million after scoring 12 goals in 44 games this season, including two against Manchester United in the Europa League. He was also part of the France U23 team that won a silver medal at last summer's Olympic Games. Cherki has not yet been capped by France at senior international level, but he was recently handed his first call-up and could make his debut in Thursday's UEFA Nations League final clash with Spain. Speaking last month, Cherki said that Lyon will remain in his heart even if he moves on this summer. 'I don't know,' he said when asked about his future. 'In any case, I know I've given my all for the club. I've done everything I could for Lyon, because it's a club I'll never forget, one that will always be in my heart. 'I stayed when a lot of players left. Today, I have no regrets. Whatever happens, I'll give my all to the last minute for the club. I've only got Lyon on my mind, and I'd never call on anyone else.' City have already put forward a bid of around £50m for AC Milan attacking midfielder Tijjani Reijnders. The plan is for him to join in time to feature in the Club World Cup, which begins for them in Philadelphia against Wydad AC on June 18. Should City succeed in signing both Cherki and Reijnders, it will put the prospect of Morgan Gibbs-White joining from Nottingham Forest into doubt. City are also keen on Wolves left back Rayan Ait-Nouri, while Kevin De Bruyne is poised to join Napoli on a free.

UK swings behind Morocco's autonomy proposal for Western Sahara
The UK has thrown its weight behind Morocco's autonomy proposal for Western Sahara, marking a shift in Britain's position on one of Africa's longest-running territorial disputes. Speaking during a visit to Rabat on Sunday, the foreign secretary, David Lammy, said Britain considered Morocco's 2007 autonomy proposal 'the most credible, viable and pragmatic basis' for resolving the dispute. The UK has previously said the status of the disputed territory in north-west Africa remains 'undetermined', while supporting 'self-determination' for 'the people of Western Sahara'. The disputed region has a population of about 600,000 people, and is considered a non-self-governing territory by the UN. While Morocco controls most of the territory, the Algerian-backed Polisario front control land in the east of the territory and want full independence from Rabat. Under Morocco's autonomy plan, Western Sahara would remain under Rabat's sovereignty, but with a degree of self-rule. The US recognised Morocco's claim over Western Sahara in 2020 during Trump's first administration. France followed suit last year, along with Spain in 2021. 'The UK will continue to act bilaterally, including economically, regionally and internationally in line with this position to support the resolution of the conflict,' Lammy said after talks with his Moroccan counterpart, Nasser Bourita. The region has been contested since 1975, when Spain withdrew from its former colony, sparking a conflict between Morocco and the pro-independence Polisario Front. A UN-brokered ceasefire was reached in 1991, with promises of a referendum on the territory's future that has never materialised. Talks have since stalled, and in 2020 the Polisario declared the truce over, accusing Morocco of violating its terms. Algeria, a key regional player, has previously criticised Rabat's plan and US support for the proposals. Bourita described the UK's endorsement as part of 'a momentum to speed up the solution of the conflict'. He said British investments in Western Sahara were under discussion. The two countries also signed cooperation deals on healthcare, innovation, ports, water infrastructure and procurement. Lammy said the partnerships would allow 'British businesses to score big on football's biggest stage', a reference to Morocco's preparations to co-host the 2030 World Cup alongside Spain and Portugal. The UN still officially supports a negotiated solution that would allow the people of Western Sahara to decide whether to become independent or remain part of Morocco.
