There is no life of even microbial status on the surface, beneath the surface or in the atmosphere of Mercury.
If even the most basic microbial life is found anywhere near Mercury I will let Jo Brand take my trousers down and have her way with me.

In relative galactic terms, the Earth is near Mercury. So near, in fact, it's virtually in the same place.

So with a pair of binoculars what can you see from Earth apart from the moon?

Most of the planets on a clear night, though they’re still small.

And not all at the same time.

Indeed in galactic terms the entire solar system is just one dot on such a map, if even that. But Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and is hotter than Hell. The habitable zone for anything better than a microbe is thought to be definitely Earth of course and just possibly Mars.
Some astro-biologists reckon that there is a slight possiblity of Europa (one of Jupiter's moons) and / or Enceladus (one of Saturn's moons) having microbes beneath their thick icy surfaces in the liquid water below. But even if there is such life it can have no substantial development possibilies.
But it would be an exciting discovery. To have life on Earth and on one of those moons would satisfy astro-biologists that our universe is teeming with life, given two or three such close examples.

What's that big shiny star that I can see from my back garden then,is that a planet?
There's got to be life out there hasn't there,I mean we haven't even left the front door when it comes to space exploration

The Sun is the star of what we call the Solar System. There are at least 400 billion stars and thus solar systems in our Milky Way galaxy. Nobody knows how many galaxies there are but the professional estimates range from 400 billion to more than 2 trillion.
Even if we dismiss 99% of all that as not capable of supporting life that still leaves hundreds of millions of planets that can support life.

Whatever.
The Earth is near Mercury.
Therefore you have to attempt to sleep with Joe Brand as there definitely is microbial life on Earth.
