Churchill's Displeasure
Former immigration minister Robert Jenrick has urged for Britain to leave the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), stating that Winston Churchill would be appalled by the actions of the court's "activist judges."
Growing Support for Exit
Jenrick's stance adds to a chorus of Conservative MPs who believe that Britain's 71-year membership in the ECHR hinders efforts to address issues like illegal migration.
A Call for Action
Jenrick questions the ECHR's relevance in today's landscape, highlighting concerns about democracy and the court's influence on British affairs. He calls for a decisive exit from the ECHR.
Controversy and Resignation
Jenrick's resignation from the Cabinet last year came after disagreements with Rishi Sunak over proposals related to the ECHR. The ongoing debate underscores the divisive nature of the issue.
Future Outlook
The PM's Rwanda Bill, supported by Downing Street, faces scrutiny in Parliament. The government remains optimistic about future deportations of illegal migrants to Rwanda.
