Any future Conservative administration could be open to dismantling additional global agreements as a means to remove individuals from the UK, according to a leading political official addressing at the beginning of a gathering centered nearly exclusively on immigration strategy.

Plan to Leave Human Rights Treaty

Making the initial of a pair of addresses to the gathering in Manchester, the Tory head officially set out her plan for the UK to quit the ECHR treaty on human rights as one element of a broader bonfire of protections.

These measures involve a halt to legal aid for foreign nationals and the right to take migration rulings to courts or legal challenge.

Exiting the European convention “is a essential move, but not enough on its own to achieve our objectives,” the leader said. “Should there are other treaties and regulations we need to revise or revisit, then we shall do so.”

Possible Withdrawal from Refugee Agreement

A future Tory government could be amenable to the option of changing or quitting other international treaties, she said, raising the possibility of the UK withdrawing from the UN’s 1951 refugee convention.

The plan to exit the European convention was announced shortly before the event as one component of a radical and at times strict set of anti-migration policies.

• A commitment that every asylum seekers arriving by irregular means would be transferred to their home or a third country within a week.
• Another plan involves the formation of a “deportation force”, billed as being patterned on a quasi-military border body.
• This unit would have a mandate to remove 150,000 individuals a year.

Extended Removal Policies

In a speech immediately after, the shadow home secretary declared that if a foreign national in the UK “shows racial hatred, such as prejudice, or supports radicalism or terrorism,” they would be deported.

It was not entirely clear whether this would apply only to people convicted of a offence for such behaviours. This Tory party has already promised to deport any UK-based foreign nationals found guilty of all but the most lesser offences.

Legal Obstacles and Funding Boost

The prospective home secretary set out particulars of the proposed removals force, explaining it would have twice the funding of the current arrangement.

It would be equipped to take advantage of the removal of numerous entitlements and paths of challenge for migrants.

“Stripping away the judicial obstacles, which I have outlined, and increasing that funding means we can deport 150,000 individuals a year that have no legal right to be here. This is three-quarters of a 1,000,000 over the duration of the upcoming government.”

Northern Ireland Challenges and Platform Examination

The leader noted there would be “particular difficulties in Northern Ireland”, where the European convention is included in the Good Friday accord.

The leader said she would task the prospective Northern Ireland minister “to examine this issue”.

The address contained no proposals that had not previously revealed, with the leader repeating her message that the group had to learn from its last electoral defeat and use time to develop a unified agenda.

The leader went on to criticise a previous financial plan, saying: “The party will never redo the financial irresponsibility of expenditure pledges without saying where the money is to be sourced.”

Emphasis on Migration and Safety

A great deal of the speeches were focused on migration, with the shadow minister in particular employing significant sections of his address to list a sequence of criminal offences committed by refugees.

“It is disgusting. We must do everything it takes to end this chaos,” he said.

This speaker adopted a similarly firm tone in parts, asserting the UK had “tolerated the extremist religious beliefs” and that the nation “cannot import and accept principles opposed to our native”.
