Human rights talk in Nuneaton to Labour members


Today I spoke to Labour members in Nuneaton on behalf of the Labour Campaign for Human Rights.

I explained that the Human Rights Act has nothing to do with EU membership or the levels of immigration, that it does bring human rights cases to the UK courts, and that it has succeeded in helping bring justice to rape victims, people being forced into modern slavery and failures of public bodies to look after children and people with mental health problems; all in the UK - to name just a few cases.

Thanks to the members who were incredibly welcoming and asked brilliant questions.
