Nigel Farage “hasn’t the faintest idea of the consequences” of removing the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) from the Good Friday Agreement, Northern Ireland Secretary Hilary Benn has said.

Mr Benn added that to jeopardise the Good Friday agreement, which secured peace in Northern Ireland, would be “dangerously irresponsible”.
