Not sure most of them know the difference between the ECHR and ECJ

I don’t think they think that far ahead either. However, I do think Patel looks to pick fights where she can at the moment, as she’s got her eyes firmly on being PM and she needs to cement her credentials with the Party and the ERG.

The Good Friday agreement requires the UK to maintain membership of the ECHR. Their current attempts to back out of the deal they negotiated and signed just over two years ago is to protect, they claim, the Good Friday agreement.
They know this is bullshit, of course, but the cognitive dissonance is surely too much for their simple brains.

So, was the Rwanda thing really a plan to withdraw from the ECHR all along? It seems possible but I'm not really sure we have anyone in power bright enough to think up something like that.
