Also - the claim that the ECHR makes it 'impossible' to deport foreign criminals and terrorists is false - the issue is whether it would breach human rights in individual cases. For instance, over 3500 foreign national offenders were deported in 2022-3: commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-bri...
Churchill would be "turning in his grave" if he knew and saw how leading Conservative politicians like Robert Jenrick are doing their best to permanently destroy UK's international standing and reputation as a modern well-functioning liberal democracy.

I watch politics closely and I couldn't give you one sentence on what ANY Tory contender thinks about the economy, or housing, or industrial policy.

Watched the final 2 episodes of Douglas Is Cancelled. Superb. Reviewers appear to have been provided with the first 2 episodes only, an amusing skewering of modern manners and generational differences. Stick with it. 3 (agonising, brilliant) and 4 fire it in an entirely different direction. Wow.
