Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Secretary Dominic Raab
LABOUR branded the Tories new Bill of Rights a “con” today, warning that the reforms will affect everyone “who relies on the state to protect them from harm.”
Introducing the proposed legislation to Parliament, Justice Secretary Dominic Raab described plans to override the European Court of Human Rights as “principled and pragmatic.”
He told MPs: “Our Bills of Rights will strengthen our proud tradition of freedom, it will demarcate a clearer separation of powers,” and “ultimately it will make us freer, it will help keep our streets safer.”
