A series of cases in the Uk have seen judges twist human rights law to allow more people to remain who entered as illegal. migrants. The latest case allowing Gazans to qualify under a Ukraine scheme was sufficient to even draw the PM ‘s criticism.

The UK has often in the past been careful not to put itself at risk of foreign judgements making it do things we disagree with. The International Court of Justice cannot judge matters between us and the Commonwealth, making a Chagos judgement out of order. The UN Law of the Sea does not apply for us to any defence matter.

In more recent years we casually gave away too many powers to the European Court of Justice. These have now been reclaimed by Brexit. Time was when if the ECHR found against us Parliament woukd overturn the judgement, as with votes for prisoners.

Keir Starmer advised by Attorney General Hermer seems keen to side with foreign complainants and courts wherever possible.

He needs to grasp that the public want to stop the flow of migrants and expect Parliament to legislate a fix. He should see we must keep the chagos as there is no legal power to find against us.

Many in government say they are prevented from acting owing to Hermer telling them of dangers of judicial review.

As they are the government they must legislate to deal with over activist judges.
