• The event at the Legatum Institute’s Prosperity Institute is titled “Why and how to leave the ECHR” and will launch Braverman’s paper.
• A spokesperson for Braverman said she is not defecting to Reform, while Frost has not ruled out standing for the party at a future election.
• Reform advocates quitting the ECHR and other agreements it says hinder large‑scale deportations, as Tory leader Kemi Badenoch reviews the legal feasibility.
