    Time for Starmer to start explaining to people exactly what leaving the ECHR entails. Nip this BS in the bud before they fester the narrative to con people.

      Sunak is already laying the groundwork for a withdrawal, within hours of the court ruling he has been talking about changing laws and “revisiting international relationships”.

      I think this could become a big battleground approaching the election, for the worst possible reasons.

        We’re not going to leave the ECHR. Sunak knows it’s daft to do so, but like everything to do with politician statements on migration, it’s all about sounding good and doing absolutely nothing.

          Cameron knew leaving the EU was stupid, so he called a referendum for it and caused us to leave to EU. These people are stupid.

        Aye I watched PMQs also. He mentioned it in the opening statement, and then used a stool to ask the question so he could reiterate the point. Pretty stupid imo. Starmer has to get this message across as to why it is extremely bad for the people of the UK to leave the ECHR.

        I will ofc be writing to my MP.
