Watch: Sunak attacking ‘lefty lawyers’ called out as ‘dangerous rhetoric’

On immigration, Sunak has a simple – and quite chilling – plan. He will drop out of the ECHR and "change the definition of 'asylum'", which is "exploited by lefty lawyers", to one that "will allow us to reject more people". Wow. It's a sprint to the far right. ~AA #BattleForNo10 pic.twitter.com/xQyLFf7xt4

Both Priti Patel & Boris Johnson were accused of putting the lives & safety of lawyers & court staff at risk by shamelessly branding those defending migrants & upholding the rule of law as “lefties”

For 2 nights running now Rishi Sunak has done the same pic.twitter.com/GxyqEacAwg

If left wing lawyers are defined by Rishi Sunak as people who defend human rights, then I guess the right wing lawyers are those that hide his money in offshore trusts in the Virgin Islands. https://t.co/qyQpJPLLSo

When Conservatives, like Rishi Sunak, attack “lefty lawyers”, what they really mean is they detest being held accountable by diligent legal professionals who prevent politicians from breaking the law

Sweet Mother of Jerusalem.

Rishi Sunak tells his audience that:

“We have to move away from the ECHR definition of asylum. It allows lefty lawyers to exploit it and frustrate our efforts”

Translation: move away from any court which holds us accountable.pic.twitter.com/AFSzBvDtrP

There are no lefty lawyers. They are legal professionals using the land’s laws

Johnson, Sunak, Truss saying otherwise is just part of their bitter, distracting culture war

They want out of ECHR so they don’t have to adhere to laws that stops people being treated inhumanely https://t.co/5jgMVZ6Uj5
