Perhaps not panicking and pissing our panties is the sensible course of action. Some of the responses here seem to be foaming at the mouth in fear, show them some love and this.. bsky.app/profile/jess...

Him and Blunkett want to suspend the ECHR to get those Gammon REFORM VOTERS OVER

nonsense.

In one of his first acts as home secretary Straw was the architect of the Human Rights Act 1998, incorporating the European convention on human rights (ECHR) into UK domestic law. His ruthless approach to crime and law and order was often contrasted with his commitment to the act – which survived threats of abolition under the Conservatives. But Straw has become increasingly sceptical of the sweeping reach of the Strasbourg court – and said the justice secretary, Shabana Mahmood, should consider legislating to stop such an interventionist approach on asylum, which rightwing parties have denounced. “I’m not remotely in the position of people on the right who say just abolish the Human Rights Act and withdraw from the ECHR,” he said. “But we need to look at two things. One, if you can persuade the court in Strasbourg that they have to be less interventionist, and that if they’re not, they will write themselves out of the script.

What do these people want to happen? Number 10 gets in to a spat with Farage, then he's calling the shots, conducting the orchestra and dictating the conversation. Fuck that, I'd rather the PM/num 10 are doing the job we elected them to do rather than engage in culture wars.

Such a truly brave sentiment from someone utterly unaffected by this poisonous rhetoric.

If you want to have a nervous breakdown every time Farage speaks, that's on you. No need for your dog-whistling racism. The fear you display of Farage shows he already won. Sorry about that..

There are hundreds of thousands of families that are going to ahab to start thinking about plan B before 2029 if this carries on. This includes citizens, who, thanks to Jack Straw's laws, can be stripped of their citizenship at the behest of government. You this is a game for ethnic minorities?

maybe people just want someone to strongly refute and forcefully pushback whenever that clown opens his mouth. ignore him at your peril.

Yeah, it'd be great if instead of fixing the country the PM and number 10 got in to a spat with Farage and indulge in culture wars like the last government did. By engaging Farage you give credibility to his mindless rants and it is not an argument that can be won.
