If she's a "classic, old school Conservative", something tells me she wouldn't have made it very fucking far in the classic, old school conservative party.
If you desire a Coloured for your neighbour, Vote Labour. If you're already burdened (sic) with one, vote Tory.

The conservatives once in office will bring up to date the Ministry of Repatriation to speed up the return of home-going and expelled immigrants

The graphic lists three main agenda items with checkmark icons: 1. Housing and cost-of-living crisis: Parliament will discuss how to make housing affordable and the cost-of-living crisis. 2. Defence innovation: The EU needs fast, modern and low-cost defence. Members are set to approve it. 3. Russian elections: MEPs are expected to denounce Russia's recent elections as clearly undemocratic and assess the situation in Ukraine.

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

In financial markets, the term is “capitulation”. There's accountability for political parties and individual politicians but not yet for the UK public/electorate which has sacrificed its economic and cultural prosperity for chauvinism. Correction requires capitulation. A valuation is happening.
