Leaving the ECHR is an abdication of conservative principles

Visible to anyone in the world
I'm a former member of the National Conservative Convention and a Tory Association Chairman, I'm a Conservative but I'm also very much a political moderate.
With that in mind I'm really disappointed to hear that Kemi Badenoch has announced today that, if they win the next election, the party will take Britain out of the European Convention on Human Rights.
I'm disappointed, but it's really not worth getting angry about, it's very much like a bald man being upset that he has forgotten his comb.
Until the Conservatives return to being a one nation party that believe in fundamental human rights they will continue to be a pale (and less successful) imitation of Reform UK.
