A Tory MP has slammed Rishi Sunak's "phoney war" and told him to stop “willy waving” by threatening to take Britain out of European human rights rules to make it easier to deport asylum seekers.
Conservative Jackie Doyle-Price insisted the Prime Minister should tackle the number of people crossing the Channel in small boats by getting the Home Office into shape rather than trying to pick a fight with the courts.
In leaked messages from a WhatsApp group, the ex-minister wrote that “willy waving about leaving the ECHR [European Convention on Human Rights] will do zilch”.
