Boris Johnson must not rest until we have taken back control… in full
Full power
THE EU and its superfan Tony Blair ensured Britain was bound hand and foot by the European Convention on Human Rights.
Blair enshrined it into his Human Rights Act.
It became a condition of the Northern Ireland peace agreement, Scottish devolution and, years later under the Tories, our Brexit deals with Brussels.
Ditching it would be a seismic event unlikely to get through Parliament even with the Government majority as it is.
Dominic Raab’s Bill of Rights, coming within days, must instead defang it, enabling us to ignore ECHR rulings counter to our wishes and interests.

Such idiocy does not make the service more inclusive. Just utterly confusing.
Health Secretary Sajid Javid is right to be furious at seeing the NHS treated as a new culture war front.
But he must also slash its new army of “diversity and inclusion” box-tickers.
They are an insane waste of money with waiting times off the charts.
Leaf it out
YOU would expect an epidemic of Brexit Derangement Syndrome in left-wing Brighton and so it has proved.
The potty Greens who run the city council even blame the rampant weeds now sprouting from their pavements on us leaving the EU.
Brexit somehow prevents them from hiring gardeners.
What rot.

There are two more obvious problems: First, Brighton banned weedkiller.

Second, voters elected Greens — friends of all types of weed.
