Migration hardwired by pact, claims Philp
Scottish Daily Express
|February 06, 2026
ILLEGAL immigration will be "hardwired" into the asylum system until the UK leaves the European Convention on Human Rights, Chris Philp has declared.
The Shadow Home Secretary warned Labour will only tinker with ECHR changes.
Mr Philp said: “Anyone who crosses the Channel knows they can invoke human rights law and remain indefinitely.”
It comes as Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood insisted she will ramp up deportations.
