Great explainer: The ECHR is protecting everyone in the UK 🚨
"Reform has touted its plan as a 'legal reset'. But it is better understood as a total rejection of the UK’s postwar international commitments to protect the human rights of everyone within its jurisdiction."

Treaties like the ECHR protect everyone in the UK, not just migrants
These commitments have cemented the UK at the heart of the rules-based international order.

So every 10 years, Brexit costs us 35 years of EU membership fees.
Even a child of 5 could understand that we were much better off when we were still members.

Brexit shrank the economy by about £100 billion.
So every year, the government is forced to forego the tax revenue (£35-£40 billion) it would have collected from that £100 billion in economic output.
So after 10 years, the economy is still down £100 billion but the government is down £350 billion.

Just days ago, Brad Lander called me to interpret for an Arabic-speaking asylee whose case was approved, yet ICE was still harassing him inside the building. Brad personally escorted him out to safety. He does this kind of work quietly, every day.
Lander just got detained by federal agents as he tried to escort a man out of the courtroom. Lander was taken in an elevator with masked agents, along with one member of his NYPD security detail.
