Kemi Badenoch has vowed to review ECHR membership and introduce an annual immigration cap in a new Tory approach.
Speaking ahead of the latest migration figures being published on Thursday, Ms Badenoch suggested she was willing to change in her position on the UK's membership of the European Convention on Human Rights .She said during the Conservative leadership election that leaving the treaty would not be a "silver bullet" to end high net migration.But the Tory leader has since suggested that she is willing to consider leaving the ECHR following a review.
"A fully transparent approach publishing all the data so for the first time everyone can see the real costs and benefits of different types of migration." Asked why she would not reveal what the upper limit of her migration cap would be, the Tory leader suggested she wanted a detailed plan in place first. Hitting out at Keir Starmer and his legal background, Ms Badenoch added: "I'm not somebody who just talks. I'm not a lawyer. I'm an engineer.
