A significant debate has emerged in the UK regarding the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) following a ruling that governments must protect people from climate change. Nigel Farage clashed with activists over the ECHR's climate ruling, while a poll showed half of Tory voters support leaving the ECHR. Rwanda's refusal to accept UK asylum seekers due to brand concerns has further fueled the discussion. Rishi Sunak's stance on ignoring ECHR over deportation flights has led to Cabinet splits and calls for a referendum on leaving the ECHR.
