Chris Philp is expected to say the Conservatives would repeal the Human Rights Act |
 |
Charles Hymas Home Affairs Editor |
Chris Philp will take on the judicial establishment today when he announces the Conservatives’ plan to strip judges of their power to rule on migrant appeals.
Speaking at the centre-Right think tank Policy Exchange, the shadow home secretary will argue that judges have not just blocked attempts by successive governments to deport illegal migrants and foreign criminals, but have used their power to make the court system “more and more permissive to the migrant”.
He will cite cases such as that of a Ghanaian criminal deported 12 years ago who was allowed back into Britain using the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), after claiming that he was feeling depressed in his birth country.
The Telegraph has a longstanding campaign highlighting how illegal migrants have exploited the appeals system to block their deportation, including reporting on the infamous case of an Albanian criminal who was allowed to stay in Britain partly because his son “disliked the texture of foreign chicken nuggets”.
Philp will say the Tories would not only quit the ECHR but would also scrap the judicial tribunal system to which migrants can appeal against their removal.
Immigration decisions would instead be made by the Home Office with migrants only allowed a quick internal appeal process, meaning deportations would be sped up. It would strip 98 per cent of cases from judges and leave migrants with only a limited right of appeal to an external court if the Government overstepped its powers.
It is a policy that goes further than Labour and takes on Reform UK, who would bar the Home Office, immigration tribunals and higher courts from considering asylum claims for anyone who enters Britain illegally.

Robert Jenrick, Reform UK’s treasury spokesman, has set out his economic vision to The Telegraph |
 |
Tony Diver Political Editor |
Robert Jenrick has the hardest job in Reform UK: convincing voters to trust his party on the economy.
As polling shows the Tories streets ahead on financial management, Reform has launched a suite of policies that would fundamentally change Britain’s labour market and its demographic makeup.
In an interview with The Telegraph, Jenrick laid out his plans for economic reform and his caution about cutting taxes.
His latest idea — to charge employers more tax for hiring foreign workers — is an ambitious and controversial proposal that would leave hundreds of thousands out of work with no access to benefits or social housing.
The unapologetically “pro-Brit” economy spokesman said his policies would transform the economy to help domestic workers, while pledging to look again at cutting stamp duty and raising defence spending if Britain can bring down its benefits bill to pay for it.

A fan, flanked by pre-revolution flags, boos Iran’s anthem |
 |
James Ducker Northern Football Correspondent, at the SoFi Stadium |
Iranian supporters defied a Fifa ban to smuggle pre-revolutionary flags into the SoFi Stadium in protest at the country’s oppressive regime.
However, talk of the team recieving a hostile reaction was quickly dispelled as fans threw their support behind the players during an entertaining match, in which Iran twice came from behind to draw 2-2 against New Zealand.
The country’s football authorities had warned they would halt the game if anti-regime flags were unfurled but that threat was not carried out, despite their visible presence, as Fifa president Gianni Infantino watched on from the stands. You can read the full report here.
The match followed a series of draws in which Spain were held by Cape Verde, mainly thanks to their 40-year-old goalkeeper, an “out of shape” Romelu Lukaku rescued Belgium against Egypt, and Uruguay scored a late equaliser in a stalemate with Saudi Arabia. |
Roman Lavrynovych, a Ukrainian, was found guilty of plotting to damage property in May last year |
News of Roman Lavrynovych’s arrest last year sent a shockwave through the rural Ukrainian village of Pniv where he grew up, writes Rozina Sabur, our National Security Editor. Speaking to The Telegraph shortly after his son’s arrest last year, Lavrynovych’s father, Mykola, said Roman had always admired Britain. His maternal uncle has been fighting on the Ukrainian front line since the invasion as an early volunteer in his country’s defence. So how did the shy, patriotic boy he knew end up facing a lengthy prison sentence in Britain, after being convicted of firebombing Sir Keir Starmer’s home? Continue reading ➤ |

Jo Cox outside Parliament in her early days as an MP |
Ten years ago, as the country prepared to decide Britain’s future role in Europe, a crime took place that put any political disagreements into perspective, writes Martin Evans. Jo Cox, a mother and popular Labour MP, was brutally killed by a man wielding a gun and a knife. 10 years later, I wanted to understand why Thomas Mair carried out Britain’s first political assassination in more than a quarter of a century. Speaking to Cox’s family and colleagues, I re-examined the events of that day and explored what more we have learned about Mair. Vitally, I assessed whether the hope that the tragedy could help heal divisions – that Cox’s statement “there is more that unites us than divides us” – was further away than ever.

Diana, 64, and her 32-year-old daughter, Charlie |

Then, over dinner one night, Charlie announced she was gay and had fallen in love with a woman. Here, Diana recalls her shocked reaction and the grief she felt for the conventional life her daughter would never have. Continue reading ➤ |

When I recently heard the old-school football manager Neil Warnock refer to radio presenter Sarah Montague as “love”, my blood froze, writes Jane Shilling. It made me wonder whether there is still a place for words like “love” and “dear” in the 21st century. I think so: kindly meant, endearments have the power to sweeten a day. Continue reading ➤ |

‘Drugs are more likely to work better than nothing at all,’ says Prof Nick Barber, ‘but we need to have an honest and open relationship with them’ |
As a nation, we rattle with medicines and pills, but did you know that 90 per cent of the drugs we take only work in less than half of us? According to Prof Nick Barber, eminent pharmacist, our medications have a reliability “we wouldn’t tolerate in a dishwasher”. Here, Prof Barber reveals the reasons why drugs may not work as well as we think, and how to get the most out of your monthly prescription.

Hannah Betts (left) spoke with holistic vet nurse Lilo Ask-Henriksen (right) on how to maximise her seven-year-old whippet’s longevity |

Hannah Betts |
It’s an issue close to all dog owners’ hearts: how can we keep man’s best friend alive and well for as long as possible? My whippet, Pimlico, is the big little love of my life. In dog years, Pim is my mid-50s age. I need her not merely to outlive me, but to be immortal.
Hence I took her for an in-depth “midlife health check” with experts who advised how to expand Pim’s healthspan.
So, what did they suggest? As with humans, it’s worth ascertaining your dog’s health biomarkers such as glucose levels and cholesterol. Keeping an eye on their weight is one of the best things you can do for their longevity. Dental health is also vital.
Fortunately, with better nutrition, vaccination and earlier diagnosis of disease, dogs are living ever longer and healthier lives. Even if they’re not quite immortal as yet.

Knowledge au naturelEvery weekday, Orlando Bird, our loyal reader correspondent, shares an off-piste topic that has brought out the best of your opinions and stories. Orlando writes...
According to Doug Gurr, director of the Natural History Museum, pupils are leaving school “unable to identify a blue tit, an oak tree or a dandelion”. This is undeniably sad, though I’m not sure how new it is. When I left school, in the not incredibly recent past, I could have confidently named a herring gull, and possibly a robin, but that was about it. My young daughter is increasingly curious about the world around her – and I’m conscious that if I want to cultivate a veneer of omniscience for at least a little longer, I’ll have to brush up on my ornithology.
“Reading this article made me realise just how fortunate I was as a child,” wrote Cheryl Winter. “I was often taken on nature walks by a great aunt. She made them so exciting, pointing out all kinds of birds and, if we were lucky, small animals. I can remember being fascinated by a slow worm; she explained that it wasn’t a snake but a legless lizard. She pointed out how oak trees had acorns, and how I could grow a little tree if I planted one in a pot, which I did. She showed me a spindle bush with beautiful pink seeds, and whenever I saw one I thought of her.”
Of course, not everybody has a naturalist in the family – and that, argued Brian Evans, is why teachers need to do more: “There should be a nature table, as in days of old,” he suggested. “If the school is in the middle of a city, it is incumbent on a teacher to go into the countryside and collect some specimens or arrange a study trip.”
Chris Long added: “Under the old regime, biology, physics and chemistry were studied separately rather than as part of a combined science GCSE. I recall that natural history was a major and most enjoyable element of the biology syllabus.”
Jane Henson wondered if things were really as bad as Mr Gurr suggested: “During half-term, I was awoken very early by the ping of a WhatsApp message from my teenage grandson, wild camping alone in the Lake District. He sent me a photograph of the sunrise over the mountains. Not all teenagers are hard-bitten cynics.” How’s your nature knowledge?
