As long as the Tories are threatening to leave the ECHR, they aren’t a serious party. Consider it the ultimate red flag. Any party who’d take this entirely unnecessary and ruinous risk with our rights and our country’s security and wellbeing should never get its hands on power. (Letter, Times)
Value of the
ECHR
Sir, In dangerous times, serious countries do not retreat into splendid isolation. They build alliances, multiply their influence and strengthen institutions. Key among those is the 46-member Council of Europe, at its heart the European Convention on Human Rights.As former independent reviewers of terrorism legislation we have seen at close quarters that the ECHR is not just a human rights instrument. It is a national security asset. Terrorist networks, hostile states, organised crime gangs and people smugglers do not respect borders. Tackling them requires arrangements for the closest possible co-operation with our neighbours, including through joint investigations and police access to European passenger, fingerprint, DNA and vehicle data.These arrangements expressly depend on internationally agreed human rights standards, applied by a supranational court. We detect no political willingness to excuse the UK from compliance with standards to which the rest of Europe already subscribes. As authoritarian powers grow more aggressive and democratic institutions face mounting pressure, Britain should not be abandoning one of its greatest postwar achievements.
The question is not whether we can afford to remain within the ECHR. It is whether, in an increasingly perilous world, we can afford not to.
Lord Carlile of Berriew, Lord Anderson of Ipswich, Sir Max Hill

I’ve seen a lot of people saying they are leaving the Green Party over this. That is the wrong response. Organise, fight for what you believe in, that is what politics is. You will never influence, change or improve anything any other way.

Whenever Tories say they are going to "tear up red tape" all I hear is "we want to make lots of money with no checks and balances to make sure we don't fuck things up for everyone else".

❗️BREAKING: Ukraine has shot down russian jet-powered Geran-5 drones using robotic gun turrets for the first time, according to Air Force spokesperson Yurii Ihnat. The systems use AI and machine vision to detect and engage high-speed targets with minimal human involvement.

I think what rankles here is that second part. Because to my recollection basically no mainstream politician has substantially challenged the Israeli government. Which is why the pressure is building across the political spectrum and leading to these gestures.

The Green Party's decision to equate Zionism with racism is shameful. Jewish self-determination is not racism. We can challenge the Israeli government and defend Palestinian rights without denying that principle.

“Destroyed a ULEZ camera” is an interesting way to describe detonating a homemade bomb in a residential street, sending shrapnel into homes and cars, and being convicted of causing an explosion likely to endanger life. Still, “camera” does make the fifteen years sound terribly unreasonable.
