Sunak can never out-Farage Farage
The perception that Brexit has been both incomplete and incompetently handled by the Tories is ideal messaging for Nigel Farage’s Reform Party
“I believe that all our plans are compliant with all of our international obligations, including the ECHR,” he said. “But I do believe that border security, and making sure that we can control illegal migration, is more important than membership of a foreign court because it’s fundamental to our sovereignty as a country.”
One problem for the PM is that such slipperiness doesn’t cut the mustard with those who feel most exercised about the issue.viewers’ reactions ranged from “this is just PR for the election” to “he’s always talk but no action”. Another problem is that Sunak would almost certainly trigger a split within his own party if he actually put ECHR withdrawal in the Tory manifesto.
Sunak’s constant attacks on the “foreign court” may also prove hugely counterproductive for the simple reason that he is effectively telling millions of Leave voters – eight long years after the EU referendum – that Brexit is still not “done” because “foreigners” are still somehow ultimately in charge of our laws and borders.
