Today I spoke at the Council of Europe in Strasbourg.

I warned that unless the European Court of Human Rights returns to the original Convention and gives up trying to stop Rwanda flights pressure will grow for us to leave the Council of Europe as we left the European Union.

The European Convention on Human Rights is a perfectly sensible document, largely drafted by Tory lawyers after the Second World War. But the rulings of the Court it set up have expanded judges' own powers beyond what was agreed in the Convention. This is dangerous.

For years we warned if the EU didn't reform, the UK would leave. We weren't listened to.

Now we are warning our European friends that the Strasbourg court must not stop our UK Government from solving the humanitarian crisis in the Channel.

We have to stop the boats.
