Reform UK, the right leaning think tank Policy Exchange, and some Labour grandees, are all pushing for us to either leave the ECHR, or disapply parts of it temporarily or permanently. This puts me, you and everyone at risk, not just those seeking sanctuary.

That's probably only even a Conservative estimate... I really think Starmer is going to Labour the point on concerns around immigration. It can't go on indefinitely though, they're eventually going to require a Reform of strategy. Either way, the Govt will be Green with envy at these statistics.

If your news content teaches you that Keir Starmer is somehow personally responsible for a woman committing a crime, pleading guilty, and going to prison then it's probably not news at all, it's propaganda.
