Badenoch told the party’s conference in Manchester that “well meaning treaties and statues” like the ECHR are “now being used in ways never intended by their original authors”.

“What should be shields to protect the vulnerable have instead become swords to attack democratic decisions and frustrate common sense,” she added.
