AFAIK I know the UK won't leave the EHCR?
I don't think that any promises on that front are worth the puff of hot air that accompanies them.
Unless there are Brexit deals that are contingent on keeping the ECHR, my guess is that as soon as the ECourtHR rules against whichever government is then in power, the HRA will soon have an amendment in it* that says "We will subscribe to the ECHR. Except when it pleases us not to."
* No doubt through a Brexity statutory instrument that requires no Parliamentary oversight. Because fuck sovereignty.

The government would still be bound by the European Convention on Human Rights though, being a signatory to it. OK, they could just ignore it, but that puts you in some pretty unpleasant company.

Not that leaving the EU human rights framework is good btw, because now laws can be applied by UK courts, there is a decent minimum standard and you don't have to spend mega £££ to defend your rights.
