You only have to look at the calibre of people wanting to convince you that leaving the ECHR is a good thing to insta realise that it’s probably not!

The security chapter of the EU withdrawal agreement is predicated on, and relies on, membership if ECHR. Withdrawal would endanger security co-operation on serious crime and terrorism from the simple exchange of information through to extradition. That is a given.

It would also stop foreign investment as there would not be a device for settling international disputes

The Belfast agreement implications alone should give pause, but let's see the advocates of this explain just what will be left of our extradition 'systems/treaties' how many EU countries extradite individuals to Belarus for instance?

A centrist Tory? Rarely seen these days.

3/3 would send undocumented people by air to the UK in the same way that we were. Essentially populists proposals always crash on first contact with reality.

The Rwanda bill's first contact with reality happened in Belfast. In order to secure peace in Northern Ireland the UK has put in place guarantees for some quite basic and usually taken for granted human rights. Fast forward 25 years, if your human rights are being trampled take your case to Belfast.

And make rejoining the EU more difficult.
