Conservative MP Tom Tugendhat 'Will Leave ECHR' If Elected As Tory Leader

The Tory leadership contest is likely to heat up with more contenders expected to join Tom Tugendhat and James Cleverly in the race. Shadow security minister Mr Tugendhat launched his campaign by indicating he would be prepared to leave the European Convention on Human Rights if it was necessary to secure the UK’s borders. The battle for the future of the Conservative Party officially began on Wednesday night with the opening of nominations in the contest to replace Rishi Sunak following the Tories’ worst general election result. A long and potentially divisive campaign will eventually produce a winner on November 2. Conservative MP Tom Tugendhat says if elected as Tory leader, he will leave the ECHR as it "does not serve in the best interests of the British people". "We've seen a record of failure over the last five years, we saw we got migration wrong and we need to reform."
