He is also personally responsible for the persecution of Assange. He was head of Crown Prosecution Services in the UK at the time we know (from Stefania Maurizi's FOIA requests) they actually threatened Sweden when Sweden wanted to drop the case.

Wet blanked doesn't begin to cover it. I honestly think he's an entryist trying to tank the Labour party on the behalf of some British spy-lord. He's failing, but that's more the Tories' fault.

The spy lord is Tony Blair

I'm far from following current UK politics, but I've heard the same thing about Liz Truss...

Do you happen to have these FOIA requests, and what kind of threats against Sweden were these?

My attempts to find them by searching the internet have failed.
