Prime Minister Keir Starmer firmly rejected calls to withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) during PMQs, responding to concerns about the small boats crisis.
Facing Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch, Starmer argued that exiting the ECHR would be a “profound mistake,” risking international agreements and hindering efforts to address illegal migration.
He emphasized reviewing the convention’s interpretation to adapt to current challenges, such as housing migrants in warehouses or military bases.
Public backlash on X against proposed compulsory ID cards, seen as a response to migration, added pressure.
Starmer’s stance aligns with his focus on serious crimes like knife violence, but critics, including Nigel Farage, argue his policies infringe on free speech and fail to address migration effectively.
The debate, intensified by Angela Rayner’s resignation, underscores Labour’s struggle to balance human rights commitments with public demands for immigration control.
