🚨UK will leave the ECHR if Tories win next election Kemi Badenoch has announced. The ECHR has protected British people from abuses of power by its own government - we’ve never needed it more - we must protect it - not leave it!

In times of fear people understandably want action - but restricting protest could fuel tensions by removing legal & safe ways for people to be heard. Being able to use protest to challenge govts & stand up for what we believe in is central to our democracy. It must be upheld.
