Peer blasts Labour's rights record
Updated on 11 December 2008
A former adviser to the Prime Minister launched a scathing attack on Labour's human rights record.
Lord Lester, who quit as Gordon Brown's adviser on constitutional reform last month, accused the Government of a "dismal and deeply disappointing" failure to defend the Human Rights Act.
He also said he felt like a "Government-tethered goat" during his 15-month tenure as prime ministerial adviser.
