Now Dominic Raab protects Human Rights Act? No, this is rather a double act - Priti Patel wants to go as far as re-interpret prohibition of torture (to allow UK to deport even where you might face risk of torture). Raab says No to this, but wants change on e.g. privacy rights

2. Steve Barclay and Jacob Rees-Mogg however are supportive of Priti Patel's effort, @thetimes report! Her effort to "add [in UK legislation] a legal definition of Article 3 to prevent judges making “subjective” decisions on what conditions may be faced after deportation"...

3. Priti Patel wants the power to redefine the absolute prohibition of torture, in other words, in a way that suits her deportation policies - her plans fly in the face of, and completely undermine, international law.

This is coming to us on #InternationalHumanRightsDay.
