Some Tory MPs are urging Rishi Sunak to leave the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) to implement the Rwanda deportation policy. However, key Cabinet ministers, including James Cleverly, oppose this move due to concerns about cooperation with European allies in tackling people smuggling. The recent controversial ruling by the Strasbourg court on climate change has caused some MPs to change their stance on leaving the ECHR.

However, MPs who previously did not back leaving the ECHR have changed their minds after Strasbourg’s controversial ruling last week on climate change. But Mr Sunak is facing growing calls from Tory backbenchers to pull the UK out of the body, which would have implications for the Good Friday Agreement for peace in Northern Ireland and could see the UK leave the Council of Europe, joining Russia and Belarus outside the organisation.
