Kemi Badenoch will today declare she is ready to quit the European Convention on Human Rights to take back control of Britain's borders.
The Tory leader, who has resisted the move in the past, will say that she is 'increasingly of the view that we need to leave' the Strasbourg Court to prevent activist judges frustrating attempts to deal with the Channel migrant crisis.
In a major speech today, she will announce a new commission to examine the paralysing effect of well-meaning international treaties on Britain's ability to deal with issues ranging from immigration and crime to housing and the environment.
Tory sources said the remit of the commission, led by barrister Lord Wolfson, will include drawing up a detailed plan to quit the ECHR.
It will also examine the case for leaving the 1951 UN Refugee Convention and rewriting the Equality Act and Climate Change Act.
