Labour Peer Criticizes Attorney General, Highlighting Party Divisions

Lord Glasman calls for Richard Hermer's removal, citing ideological differences and frustrations with the Labour government's direction.

Labour peer Lord Glasman labeled Attorney General Richard Hermer an 'arrogant, progressive fool' and urged Prime Minister Keir Starmer to remove him from office.
Hermer, a close ally of Starmer, has faced criticism for taking a legalistic approach that some argue delays government policies and prioritizes international law over national interests.
The criticism underscores growing ideological divides within the Labour Party, particularly between Glasman’s Blue Labour movement and the party's progressive wing.
Glasman also criticized Chancellor Rachel Reeves for lacking vision on economic renewal and described her as a 'drone for the Treasury.'
The tensions come as Labour faces pressure from the rising popularity of Nigel Farage's Reform UK, which has gained traction among disaffected working-class voters.
