The Attorney General has rubbished suggestions that he's 'some huge lefty' as he hit back at claims he's dedicated his career to 'defending those who hate Britain'.
Lord Hermer, who was hand-picked to be the Government's chief legal adviser by Sir Keir Starmer, defended himself from Tory attacks over his past client list.
He also branded charges of a 'two-tier' justice system in Britain, which have been made following last summer's riots, as 'disgusting' and 'wrong'.
The Labour peer told the BBC that politicians using the phrase needed to think about the 'dangers' they were posing to the UK's 'essential institutions'.
Lord Hermer has been friends with the Prime Minister since 1996 when they worked at the same barristers' chambers.
