"One of Kemi Badenoch's first announcements of the conference was that the Conservatives would take Britain out of the European convention on human rights if elected to lead the next government. The announcement was part of the party's borders plan a somewhat tortured acrostic that also included banning irregular migrants from ever claiming asylum. As part of the plan, the Tories would also repeal the Human Rights Act and leave the Council of Europe convention on action against trafficking."
"The biggest chunk of those savings 23bn would come from welfare, which would be cut entirely for anyone who is not a British or EU citizen or who claims a pension. The shadow chancellor also promised to cut one in four civil servant jobs in the UK, a cull that he said would save 8bn. An additional 3.9bn would come from banning foreigners from accessing social housing, and 3.5bn from closing asylum hotels."
Kemi Badenoch proposed taking Britain out of the European Convention on Human Rights and repealing the Human Rights Act. The borders plan would ban irregular migrants from ever claiming asylum, end immigration trials, remove legal aid for immigration cases, and withdraw from the Council of Europe anti‑trafficking convention. The plan would establish a UK version of ICE. Mel Stride pledged 47bn cuts by 2029, with 23bn from welfare cuts targeting non‑British/EU citizens and cuts to civil service jobs. Robert Jenrick proposed abolishing the Sentencing Council and giving the Judicial Conduct Investigation Office power to sack judges who tweet support for 'open borders'.
