Kemi Badenoch says she believes Britain will "likely need to leave" the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
Delivering a speech on Friday, the Conservative leader said she was launching a review into Britain’s membership of the treaty, which underpins human rights law.
"I have always said, that if we need to leave the convention, we should – and having now considered the question closely, I do believe that we will likely need to leave," she said.
