‘In a series of posts on this blog, the legal historian Sanjit Nagi has outlined both a history of Labour scepticism about the European Convention of Human Rights (“ECHR”) (and in particular about the role of the European Court of Human Rights (“ECtHR”)) dating back to the Attlee government and a set of theoretical objections that have informed the strand of Labour Party thinking that continues to share that scepticism – most obviously in the case of Lord Glasman, who has called for the UK to leave the ECHR and “scrap” the Human Rights Act 1998 (“HRA”).’
