The UK helped create the European Convention on Human Rights to protect against tyranny after WWII. Now some politicians want us to leave it behind.

Under ECHR Art. 6 (fair trial, adequate facilities to examine evidence) and the Schrems II judicial-redress critique of US law, that is a structural human rights problem, not just an IT-sec footnote.
The defendant never got to audit the methodology; the requested state never demanded one. #itsec #echr #GDID 4/4

I expressed concern regarding the right to a fair trial and judicial independence in the proceedings against Ekrem İmamoğlu, elected mayor of Istanbul, and other defendants. The authorities of Türkiye should ensure that all proceedings comply with the #ECHR. Read my statement ⬇️

Even under Thatcher, the #Conservatives were a broad church. Local parties controlled candidate selection. Many chose cautious moderates.
#WilliamHague ended that. 0POV leadership elections, but centralised selection of candidates.
#KemiBadenoch is extremist centraliser. She personally vetts all Tory candidates to pick only zealots. https://archive.is/srdBF
#NetZero out. #ECHR out. No debate, no nuance.
This zealotry has a ceiling of ~20% support. #Kemisphere is cohesive, but small.

I intervened in the case of Nikoleta Zereliga and Others v. Greece concerning the #HumanRights of Roma communities living in an informal settlement. I consider that eviction, or the risk of an eviction, without providing alternative housing, can disproportionately jeopardise their rights. Read my third-party intervention before the #ECtHR #ECHR

The European Court of Human Rights ruled GCHQ's mass surveillance UNLAWFUL.
14 judges dissented. Three quoted Orwell's 1984:
"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment."

@alhohlfeld I agree that Europe is being overly restrictive on #freespeech. As the author recognizes, the situation is not any better in the US.
The author is mistaken, however, where it claims that the US government is “constrained by First Amendment protections that Europeans largely lack; Europe’s speech laws, …, are the result of deliberation by elected institutions.” In the EU, free speech is protected by national constitutions, Art. 11 of the EU Charter and Art. 10 #ECHR.

Now that the Chisinau Political Declaration has been adopted, are our governments truly measuring what is at stake?
In @lemondefr , I reaffirm a few fundamental principles. Le moment exige un changement de récit ainsi qu’une détermination ferme et inébranlable sur trois fronts. 👇 -

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/may/22/kind-of-humiliating-trans-community-responds-to-ehrcs-new-code-of-practice. The #EHRC keeps on proving that it has NOTHING to do with #equality, & EVERYTHING to do with #transphobia, @transworld, @transactualuk, @ilgaeurope, @PinkNews, @christineburns, @HarriettMB. Must we wait for the #ECHR to make a ruling about Victoria McCloud's case, when this #Labour #Government could amend the 2010 #EqualityAct?

So #trans people in the #UK can't legally use most public toilets, & can't safely use hospitals.
Gender vigilantes will be empowered. Most of their victims will be non-conforming cis women. There will be violence.
Forget the small print in the new code of practice. #Apartheid is the new reality.
Yes, a case will be brought to the ECtHR. But that takes years, and a victory will be the casus belli for the UK to withdraw from the #ECHR.
Thanks, a bunch #LabourParty. You utter scum.
