Sunak accuses Starmer of ‘invoicing’ Islamist group while working as lawyer

Rishi Sunak accused Sir Keir Starmer of having provided legal representation to Hizb ut-Tahrir, an Islamist political group that the UK is now planning to ban as a terror organisation, during Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday (17 January). “When I see a group chanting jihad on our streets I ban them, he invoices them,” Mr Sunak added. Sir Keir’s spokesperson said choosing to give legal advice to a group is very different from agreeing with or endorsing the views of that organisation.
