People who have come to the United Kingdom legally, played by the rules and made it their home do not need to “go home”. This is their home.
I've written to Kemi Badenoch to give her the chance to reject these divisive calls from her frontbencher Katie Lam.

Can I just show up? The RSVP is asking for a ZIP which I have not got.

1) Either the ECHR significantly constraints government action. Then "it has to go because of that" means "we plan to, want to and will do things that are currently considered to violate human rights" or
2) Human rights protection remains the same. Then... why leave the ECHR?

Leaving the ECHR is just another "cause" that right-wing lunatics can latch onto.
It's Brexit 2.
And like the original most people backing, it don't understand it, don't really believe in what they
are doing and do not care one jot what havoc it causes.

Kemi Badenoch has chosen the side of Vladimir Putin and Nigel Farage with her plan to leave the European Convention on Human Rights.
The ECHR is a proud British creation, championed by Churchill, that protects everyone's rights and freedoms.

I would add one thing: we are bombarded with two claims: 1) the UK can leave the ECHR without lowering human rights protection and 2) the ECHR significantly limits what the government can do and hence the UK has to leave it.
These cannot both be true. /1

There are lots of reasons not to leave ECHR. But apart from anything else, it just doesn't solve the problem the Tories/Reform think it does.
E.g. the Supreme Court judgment re Rwanda being unsafe explicitly said it was not based on ECHR.
