One of the judges that threw a lifeline to Sir Keir Starmer by ruling that asylum seekers can stay at the Bell Hotel in Epping is a Labour activist, it has emerged. Lord Justice Bean, who delivered the ruling today, is a member of the the Society for Labour Laywers.
He led a panel that decided a temporary injunction preventing asylum seekers being housed at the Bell Hotel in Epping will be overturned. It meant the Home Office and Somani Hotels, which owns the Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex, have successfully challenged a High Court ruling that would have forced 138 asylum seekers at the hotel to be removed by September 12 - saving Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Home Secretary Yvette Cooper from a nightmare. Other councils across the country were set to demand injunctions of their own.
The Labour link was revealed by Sky News Chief Political Correspondent Jon Craig. He said as part of a TV report: "I will make no comment about this but just gently point out - Lord Justice Bean is a leading figure in the Society for Labour Laywers. He was one of the founding members of the Matrix Chambers - the others included Cherie Blair - wife of the former Prime Minister Tony Blair and Lord Hermer, the current Attorney General.
"Judge Justice Stephen Eyre, who gave the original high court decision, was a Conservative parliamentary candidate four times. We will see if any of the politicians make anything of their political allegiances."

UK subjects’ long-standing addiction to collectivism has finally destroyed the country”
Yes and England handed Labour a no confidence proof majority. Which means no election for four years, an eternity. They have reached the “shoot their way out” part of the axiom. Tough to do with sticks and protest signs.
Not exactly.
Reform stopped supporting Conservative because of their failure on immigration.
Conservative refused to support Reform…
So Labour romped.
At least we have the midterms here in the U.S. and they don’t even have that.
Looks like the Tories will support Reform now.
And they'll get a couple of Labour voters as well.
Tories hate Reform even more than Labour.
Yes, it looked to me like the Conservatives actually helped English media demonize reform and helped Labour take over since they knew they were doomed. Making the Conservatives nothing but traitors themselves. Now look at the ruin.
