‘It risks everything!’ Keir Starmer accused of undermining British Army in fresh human rights row

Sir Keir Starmer has been accused of undermining the British Army by allowing human rights to pose a threat to national security.

Nine four-star generals, who signed an open letter to the Prime Minister to coincide with Armistice Day, warned that soldiers’ trust in the legal system has deteriorated so badly that it now “risks everything”.

The group claimed the collapse in trust is a “direct threat to national security” and suggest it has sparked an exodus from the special forces.

In the letter, which has been published by The Times, the nine four-star generals said: “Today every British soldier deployed must consider not only the enemy in front of them but the lawyer behind them.
