The comment by Ben Judah (pictured with Lammy), the adviser who has been described as 'Lammy's brain', is one of a string of astonishing remarks he has made.
A senior adviser to Foreign Secretary David Lammy has questioned how much people will mourn the death of Prince William , The Mail on Sunday can reveal.The comment by Ben Judah, the Labour adviser who has been described as 'Lammy's brain', is one of a string of astonishing remarks he has made that the Conservatives have branded republican and 'anti-British'.
The row over demands for slavery reparations from the UK, which dominated the Commonwealth Heads of Government summit in Samoa, is being placed at Mr Lammy's door by senior advisers in No 10. In an article for the Unherd website in 2022, Mr Judah was also dismissive about the Commonwealth – to which Sir Keir has this weekend been paying homage at the summit in Samoa.
And about the King, Mr Judah said: 'The King is not a stupid man. 'Big Ears' of the tabloid press has spent his life knowing there is nothing sacred about him.' Before he became Foreign Secretary, Mr Lammy, who is descended from enslaved people, gave Caribbean nations hope of succeeding in their demands for slave trade reparations by describing how his ancestors heard 'the twisted lies of imperialism as they were stolen from their homes in shackles and turned into slaves'.
