Tricky Dicky
IT’S funny how the Attorney General has suddenly gone quiet amid claims that Sir Keir Starmer’s proposed recognition of Palestine would be illegal.
Richard Hermer hasn’t previously wasted any time in thwarting plans to protect Northern Ireland veterans or deport foreign criminals as part of his moral crusade to uphold international law.

He even insisted we pay billions to give away the Chagos Islands.
Indeed, ministers have been complaining for months that every single decision they make must first go through Lord Hermer’s office to get his approval.
Yet when it comes to the cherished Left-wing cause of Palestine, his Lordship has been seemingly happy to turn a blind eye to illegality.
Panicked Cabinet ministers claim recognition of a foreign state is a “political judgment” — ignoring that it is actually entirely a legal one.
It’s all pointless anyway as us joining the 147 other countries who already recognise Palestine is a purely performative act that won’t do anything to secure peace in Gaza.
In trying to appease Labour MPs worried about Muslim votes, the Prime Minister and his human-rights-loving Attorney General are guilty of yet another self-inflicted blunder.
Hamas must be delighting in their propaganda coup — and laughing at us.

What plan?
LABOUR may as well drop the pretence that it can stop the boats.
More than 25,000 illegal migrants have now crossed the Channel this year.

While an average of 118 have been arriving every day — one every 12 minutes — the Government has offered only half-baked “crackdowns”.
There’s never been even a hint of a deterrent scheme to replace Rwanda.
Nor changes to benefit rules or any end in sight to asylum hotels costing £5.7million per week.
Crucially, no progress either on quitting the ECHR or teaming up with other European countries to reform it.
So what IS the plan?
Or do we all just have to keep putting up with this?
All blackouts
NEW Zealand was left on the brink of blackouts after former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern decided in 2018 that the world had “moved on” from fossil fuels.
Her shift to renewables meant the country no longer had the generating power to keep the lights on during cold spells.

Ed Miliband’s blind following of the same eco-madness led him to ban new oil and gas drilling.
He will end up taking Britain to the edge of darkness, too.
