Jenrick accuses 35 judges of pro-migrant bias

Robert Jenrick vows to sack 35 judges accused of pro-immigration activism and plans to return judicial appointment powers to the government to increase oversight.

  • Robert Jenrick, shadow justice secretary, announced plans on Tuesday to remove dozens of judges, pledging to sack 35 he labels `activist` and accusing them of a `hidden network` subverting judicial independence.
  • Robert Jenrick, shadow justice secretary, compiled a list of more than 30 judges alleged to have continued sharing pro-immigration comments on social media after providing free legal services for open-border organisations.
  • Abolishing the Judicial Appointments Commission would return appointment powers to the lord chancellor, supported by a judicial vetting committee, while the JCIO gains powers to investigate `inappropriate` conduct and a judicial register of interests is created.
  • If his party returns to power, Jenrick said judges campaigning for open borders would be automatically sacked, including junior judges in the immigration tribunal, with plans to control courts applying the European Convention on Human Rights to increase removals.
  • Describing a `deep rot` in parts of the judiciary, Robert Jenrick urged leaving the European Convention on Human Rights and welcomed Nigel Farage's mass deportation plans.
