Judges who bring their personal politics to court should be removed, shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick has insisted.
Tighter pre-appointment checks for those with partisan views are needed, the MP for Newark, Nottinghamshire, said.
He also called for a system for their removal if any political meddling is discovered.
Mr Jenrick said: 'If judges want to enter the political sphere themselves, then they should stop being judges and go into politics.
'We have to have a situation where judges who act politically and bring their own personal politics into their job as a judge are held to account and frankly, can be removed.'
