The UK, with Winston Churchill's strong backing, played a key role in drafting the ECHR, prompted above all by the horrors of Nazism.
This confederacy of ghouls wants to abandon all that, in order to send some traumatised and highly vulnerable people to Rwanda.
Is Rishi Sunak considering removing the moratorium on fracking?
Cuadrilla has extended the exploration phase of its shale gas licence PEDL276 that covers parts of 5 constituencies: Barnsley East, Don Valley, Doncaster Central, Doncaster North and Wentworth & Dearne.
Krishnan Guru-Murthy, "Rishi Sunak's own former net zero tzar says it's the wrong decision at the wrong time, on the wrong side of voters and history. The PM says it will bring us cheaper energy but doesnt say how when it trades on international markets where companies sell to whoever they want."
"We live in a democracy and we said no. We have said no so many times. Our parish council said no, Mid Sussex District Council said no, West Sussex County Council has looked at it and said no.
So why do they think it's okay to say yes?"

Exactly the same arguments we exposed in our battle against #fracking. It's not the UK's energy it's been sold off!!!
UK production will not reduce energy prices or increase energy security.

‘Magical’ wildlife-rich rainforest being created in Devon
Absolutely delighted that this is happening near where I live in Totnes - on a farm owned by a Community Benefit Society, in partnership with @DevonWildlife https://t.co/Y98djdcmPR
Uncomfortable listening to Nick Robinson on @BBCr4today ignore @CarolineLucas when she quoted @antonioguterres saying the truly dangerous radicals are companies and governments doing nothing to combat climate and ecological destruction. He followed up with an unrelated question🙄
A succinct set of green demands for new PM Rishi Sunak from @CraigBennett3:
- Stop the repeal of 570 environmental laws derived from the EU
- Scrap deregulatory Investment Zones
- Bring forward ELMs - don’t give in to Mark Spencer
- Ban fracking https://t.co/V56C5bw5nH
Will shale gas improve our energy security?
UK shale gas reserves are owned by private companies and they will sell it to the highest bidder.
So no. Fracked gas will NOT improve our energy security.
If two people glue their faces to a gallery wall they make the news. If thousands of people march peacefully through the capital they are ignored. Get it now?
Meet @NickFletcherMP Nick only really cares about one person. When he voted to support #fracking recently, he made it abundantly clear he cared little for his constituents.
Why not let Nick know how you feel about his betrayal.
I voted against fracking in the Commons tonight. During that vote I saw things I’ve never seen, like the Deputy Prime Minister, physically pick up an upset Tory MP & put him in the division lobby. Unbelievable scenes. Bullying like nothing I’ve seen in my 7 years as an MP.
We fully back @frackfreesyorks in opposing Fracking in Rotherham. We will fight any plans rigorously. We need a green new deal not a destruction of our local communities
