How many other countries are there where the executive attacks lawyers and judges like the executive does here?

“Liberal lawyers” he really is a mini-Trump with his USAian imported rightspeak, isn’t he.
Oh, how *very dare* “liberal lawyers” ask that the government follow the rule of law. There again, this is sorry excuse for a human who can follow his own laws anyway!
Maybe he should deploy some Authoritarian, Fascist Lawyers to counteract this strange leftist mutation of a “Lawyer”.
Pretty rich coming from a Neoliberal 🤢
The whole policy is just a stunt to impress the die-hard anti-migration people on the right. It’s actually rather genius in a lot of ways, because it will generate sound bites about “those damn lefties” for years to come.
They got Brexit done. They got Covid done. They did the economy. I’m not sure I want them to “do” or get any thing else “done”.
Pm unspoken: “we need fascist partisan lawyers to do my bidding.”
Conservative voters unspoken:”I love voting for facists!!”
the man hasn’t had an original thought in his entire life, in the last few weeks alone he has parroted Thatcher, Churchill and now Trump. The only missing at the moment is Vlad’s hand up his arse working the controls.
He sounds like a Donald Trump tribute act. And not even a decent one. The type you see in your local on a Thursday night.
