Dropping the ECHR would mean no treaty protection against this in the UK.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

🆘 🛟 Brexit is a disaster even for big business!

M&S boss Stuart Machin says 6 out of 19 lorries from GB👉NI are stopped daily for Brexit checks: each one carrying up to 650 pages of paperwork.

Taking back control translates as wasting time, money, energy on pointless bureaucracy that helps no one.

“Only 5% of migration is from small boats, but it gets 95% of the headlines. It would be ludicrous to cut legal migration when we have 150,000 NHS vacancies."

Zack Polanski says politicians must stop fuelling fear and start telling the truth about immigration.

Reform UK only offers empty promises. They don't know how to govern.

"But the experience so far is that governing and running things is hard work. Easy political slogans and simple solutions are much more difficult to implement than say."

We know that the superrich lobbying and funding politicians -

And we also know, they don’t spend money on politicians to legislate against their interests.

It’s simple they want us all fight against each other. They’re running the show not the gov - nor the voters.

The ECHR is much more than a treaty. It’s a quiet promise - a shield against abuse of power, a lifeline for the vulnerable, a declaration of who we are as a nation. In an age of upheaval and division, we must not let it be torn up for political convenience

Peter Stefanovic @peterstefanovic.bsky.social · 17d

Prime Minister Keir Starmer plans to change how judges interpret the European Convention on Human Rights – a move that risks weakening everyone’s protections.

The ECHR has become a convenient scapegoat for challenges around migration and sovereignty.
