@Conservatives I’m not prepared to give up my human rights just because you don’t like foreigners

@Conservatives What is it that you disagree with?

@Conservatives You lot had 14 years to leave the ECHR..............FOURTEEN YEARS!!!

@Conservatives Celebrating wanting to join Russia and Belarus as the only European countries outside of the ECHR is not the win you think it is.

@Conservatives No thanks: I’d rather have my human rights protected by a supranational body, because I don’t trust the UK government (any UK government, of any stripe, but mainly the Conservatives) to maintain or protect them. You despise us.

@Conservatives Doing Putin's work. The only countries in Europe who are not member are Russia and Belarus. You are letting Putin lead you by the nose. Disgraceful from @Conservatives @TheNewsAgents @terrychristian

@Conservatives 1. No one believes you. 2. You have zilch chance of regaining power at next GE

@Conservatives This is a year late. 12 months ago this was pushing the window, now its the bare minimum expected I sincerely hope you have more radical policies to announce at conference than this

@Conservatives Hahahaha *Sigh* Hahahaha. All talk, no action. Your history defines you. The wets won’t let you

Pathetic. A gesture that will do nothing to affect immigration but will do great damage to the Northern Ireland peace progress and to our trade with the EU, and will stop the extradition of criminals from the 45 members of the Council of Europe. Still, we will join Russia and Belarus in a club of three.

@Conservatives Nobody believes you anymore. Go with the grace of God. But go. You aren't wanted. You aren't needed. Get out of the way.

@Conservatives If only the Tories had been in power for 14 years then they might have acted. Oh wait....

@Conservatives Total and absolute bollocks, it won’t make any difference to immigration, in fact like your disastrous Brexit it could make it worse, remember the crap about securing our borders, sit down you clown!!

@Conservatives Im sure that, unlike Brexit, you've fully though this one through and aren't just doing it to pander to Putin's assets in Reform.

@Conservatives The very idea that you know better than Learned Judges is quite beyond stupidity as generally understood

@Conservatives Why don't you just stop being a Reform tribute act, give in and just join the real thing?

@Conservatives The Conservatives really have nothing to offer any more, can they just all quit and move to Reform But don't forget Yvette Cooper suspended Article 8 of the ECHR, if we're upset at Philp, we should equally be upset at Cooper

@Conservatives Thank you for not just giving a headline but actually explaining why.

@Conservatives You’re motivation isn’t the public interest but to recycle Farage’s populist BS by trying to revive the Brexit hysteria around anything with‘European’ in the name. Stop gaslighting.

@Conservatives If there was a vote on this in the commons. I guarantee more than 50% of the Conservative MPs wouldn't support it. You are totally wet and not to be trusted. Not even convinced you support it yourself.

@Conservatives The only reason you would want to do that is because you are planning to violate someone’s human rights. I hope voters realise it is their human rights you are planning to take away. Seems taking away our rights as EU citizens wasn’t enough for you.

@Conservatives No, we actually shouldn't, because it won't just stop with 'the boats' It will erode all the rights we ever fought for and gained.

@Conservatives Hmmmm...are the arsonists trying to join the fire brigade again? 14 years....11+ million migrants. The fake @Conservatives are only good at lying and gaslighting.

@Conservatives What we saying, chat? 14 years?

@Conservatives You’ve flirted with this idea before and never done it, in fact many of you have gone on to support continued membership. Particularly Kemi! You talk about it now in opposition because you need our votes, but I’ve zero confidence it will ever happen under the Tories! #NoTrust

@Conservatives At last. Should’ve been done when we left the EU. Finally waking up as a party 👏 Now to get rid of all the Lib Dems hiding within the party so we can finally become a Conservative Party again.

@Conservatives Layout your Human Rights and outline the protection to prevent a rogue government stripping them from us. Remind me again which European countries are also outside the ECHR

@Conservatives Too little too late, plus no one trusts the word of the CONS anymore

@Conservatives What you meant to say was 'lets use some extreme edge cases to strip rights from 70 million British people'...

@Conservatives Excellent well thought out policy on the way. Good news that all Tory MPs must agree or they can’t stand at the next GE. All prospective Tory candidates must agree or they can’t apply. Well done.

@Conservatives ECHR for the people of UK Why would far rights want to take our rights away. Since Starmer took over, our relationship with Europe has improved, we need to keep our friends in Europe close, the way this world is changing, we need them, we need each other.

@Conservatives You are a fucking moron and the Tories are irrelevant. When will you be moving to Reform UK?

@Conservatives Conservatives just turning into Reform. Pathetic and desperate.

@Conservatives Why now? Why not when you had a massive majority?! Too little, too late. You’ve betrayed your voters for the last time. Sincerely, a former life long Tory.
