“#Starmer’s close relationship with the #US state will be a revelation to many. During his tenure [as Director of Public Prosecutions] the #CPS [Crown Prosecution Service] acted ‘as a proxy’ (p.29) for the US State Department overseas, with Starmer himself becoming an envoy for the US Department of Justice.

He forged close links with US Attorney General, Eric Holder, at one point going way beyond his remit by promising to secure Gary #McKinnon’s extradition – a young man who, while looking for evidence of UFOs, hacked into US military databases.

Eagleton describes Starmer’s ‘fury’ (p.31) with [former UK Prime Minister] Theresa May when, as Home Secretary, she stopped the extradition. In one heart-rending passage Eagleton quotes McKinnon’s mother after she met Starmer to plead her son’s case.

In it she tells of Starmer’s response to her pleas: ‘I’m feeling very uncomfortable,’ said Mr Starmer. ‘Speaking to you is making me feel very uncomfortable’ (p.30). His lack of interest and concern in her son could not have been more transparent.”
