Comment on James Cleverly’s flight of fantasy with new Rwanda treaty – as Tory MPs plot rebellion

MPs on the right of the party are pushing the PM to use it to opt out of the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) – warning he must go for the “full fat” version to stop judges intervening.

Hmm.

IIRC, the objection from the ECHR on Italy was that the countries in North Africa to which people were being sent were not safe. I would assume that that would not apply in Rwanda’s case.
