flag Kemi Badenoch demands Keir Starmer apologize for his role in a 2007 case that led to prolonged probes of British troops in Iraq.

flag Kemi Badenoch has urged Prime Minister Keir Starmer to apologize to Iraq veterans after revelations that Starmer, then a barrister, contributed to a 2007 human rights case that led to prolonged investigations of British troops. flag The case, Al-Skeini v UK, challenged military operations in Iraq and prompted criminal probes, including one against Sgt Richie Catterall, who was falsely accused based on a forged document. flag While Downing Street clarified Starmer acted as an intervener for the Law Society, not a representative of claimants, critics argue his role undermined military trust. flag The controversy resurfaces as the government reviews legacy legislation in Northern Ireland, raising concerns about prosecutions of veterans from the Troubles.
