Talk among Tories of leaving the ECHR is reaching fever pitch (again), so its as well to be reminded about what the consequences of leaving the European Convention on Human Rights would & wouldn't be.

Whatever the practical issues, as Joelle Grogan (King's College) concludes, not only would it encourage further withdrawals, leaving the ECHR would be one more element in the destruction of the UK's (already floundering) global reputation, with further consequences.

Leaving the European convention on human rights won’t stop the boats – but it will create other problems for the UK

Leaving the ECHR would not free the UK of the obligation not to send people to a place of harm.
