Keir Starmer stuns everyone with Jewish lawyer Richard Hermer’s appointment | Janta Ka Reporter

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has stunned both his critics and supporters by appointing a leading Jewish lawyer, Richard Hermer, as the new Attorney General of the country. This also meant that Starmer had dumped Emily Thornberry, who was tipped to be appointed in this role.

Rifat Jawaid explains how Hermer has been a leading Jewish voice against Israel in the past. He also explains why Hermer may be a far better appointment than Thornberry or Suella Braverman, who occupied this role in the Conservative government in the past.
