Kevin Hollinrake has said in his view ‘people should be prosecuted’
Gordon Brown has written for the Times criticising prime minister Rishi Sunak over his threats to leave the European court of human rights (ECHR), which Brown says “plays into Putin’s hands”.
Last week Sunak told The Sun “I do believe that border security, and making sure that we can control illegal migration, is more important than membership of a foreign court.”
When Sunak arrived in No 10, he had an opportunity to reaffirm core British values after the years of Johnson and Truss playing fast and loose with them.
Under this Conservative administration, the whole system of international law – not just the ECHR, but also the Refugee Convention and general human rights and humanitarian law – is being systemically undermined.
