A Reform UK government would only allow civil servants who ‘believe’ in secure borders to work in a new ministry to tackle migration, Richard Tice announced today.
Unveiling a blueprint for leaving the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), he vowed to drive through the plan by only allowing those who are committed to it to work on it.
The Reform deputy leader was speaking alongside Conservative former home secretary Suella Braverman and Tory peer Lord Frost as they united to call for the UK to quit the treaty.
Mrs Braverman, who also previously served as attorney general, yesterday published her ‘roadmap to freedom’ outlining how to leave the ECHR at the Prosperity Institute event.
The 50-page plan says the Convention has ‘mutated from a shield against tyranny into a sword against sovereignty’.
