Great explainer: The ECHR is protecting everyone in the UK 🚨 "Reform has touted its plan as a 'legal reset'. But it is better understood as a total rejection of the UK’s postwar international commitments to protect the human rights of everyone within its jurisdiction." bit.ly/3JYzaI8
theconversation.com
Treaties like the ECHR protect everyone in the UK, not just migrants
These commitments have cemented the UK at the heart of the rules-based international order.

Brexit shrank the economy by about £100 billion. So every year, the government is forced to forego the tax revenue (£35-£40 billion) it would have collected from that £100 billion in economic output. So after 10 years, the economy is still down £100 billion but the government is down £350 billion.

Just days ago, Brad Lander called me to interpret for an Arabic-speaking asylee whose case was approved, yet ICE was still harassing him inside the building. Brad personally escorted him out to safety. He does this kind of work quietly, every day.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

"We signed it, and it's done," Trump said... which is untrue... the deal is neither done nor signed... Before saying that it was a trade agreement with the EU... which is also untrue Before remembering the deal was with Britain... which is true Before dropping it. Genius.
