Just want to point out if people had been beaten up at the Green or SNP party conference and their leader had cheered it on. It wouldn't just have been on TV, it would have been on TV non-stop until the election. But for Reform, it barely got mentioned.

Any politician calling to leave the ECHR is lying about what that will achieve. It won’t solve any problem or improve our lives It will make us worse off and remove our rights. Just like Brexit.

If we've learned anything lately it's that what Nigel Farage considers to be perfectly fine and legal, is pretty far outside what you & I, parliament, and the law, consider to be perfectly fine and legal.
