It’s Conservative conference time and the first major policy announcement has come. The fight back begins now. We will leave the ECHR if the Conservatives win the next general election. A plan for stronger borders, a plan to leave the ECHR, and a plan for a stronger economy.

As a member of the Shadow Cabinet, I agreed to the policy of leaving the ECHR - after the party conducted a comprehensive review to carefully consider the options and potential impact. While well intended when established, the ECHR too often has come into conflict with our

I really hope the new Welsh Government will introduce legislation requiring a by-election whenever an elected official switches parties. Voters deserve the final say — not politicians changing sides mid-term. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

To regain control of our borders and finally get a proper grip on illegal immigration, the UK must leave the ECHR. I'm fully behind the announcement made by the @Conservatives this morning.

✅ Controlling our borders. ✅ Fixing our asylum system. ✅ Protecting our veterans from vexatious prosecution. ✅ Rigorous prison sentences for violent criminals. ✅ Prioritising British people for benefits and social housing. All only possible if we leave the ECHR.

Important and true. And leaving the ECHR is just one of the necessary steps. We need to quit other international accords that hinder deportations. We need to scrap a lot of domestic laws. We need to find ways to remove activist judges. All these things require detailed plans.

It is time for Britain to leave the European Convention on Human Rights. I have not taken this decision lightly. I have always been clear that we should leave the ECHR if we need to, but I was also concerned about the arguments that had been raised in opposition to leaving. The

The legal advice is clear. Leaving the ECHR is ‘the only feasible option’ for the UK to regain control of its borders. Only the Conservatives have a proper plan to get it done.

Finally, it’s official. The Conservatives will take us out of the ECHR, if they win the next general election. They have been coming up with a proper detailed plan to leave successfully, unlike others, and can now make the announcement. I fully support leaving the ECHR.

We must leave the ECHR. It was set up with good intentions - but it has gone wrong. People who break into our country and should be deported are exploiting it to stay. 👇

The ECHR stops us from controlling our borders. It undermines British democracy and puts the rights of foreign criminals ahead of public safety. It's time to leave.  Here's why 🧵

Leaving the ECHR is the only way to protect Britain’s borders. The Conservative Party is the only Party with a plan to deliver it.

2024 is the hottest year ever recorded by humans on Earth. Every university on Earth says humans are dangerously overheating the climate. The collapse of civilisation is on the horizon - Sir David Attenborough. Will the Media hold this fossil fuel funded crook to account?

A new website allows anyone to record Welsh and historic names that are missing from online maps. Whether it’s the name your grandfather used for a local field, the Welsh name for a hill near you, or the historic name of your street or home, you can help preserve these for future
