At last #BBCLauraK asks #Jenrick as to how leaving the #ECHR will affect the #GFI

He says, "The Good Friday Agreement is not reliant on the ECHR."

LK "It's a fundamental part of it"

RB Then suggests changing that protection to a Northern Ireland Bill of Rights or a British Bill of Rights. He's not clear here

"It is entirely possible for a country that wrote the Magna Carta to set up protections for its citizens as they were before the ECHR"

Both UK and Eire were in the EU then #FFS

@Geri Laura K asks a pertinent question, and follows up on the response?! Has she been replaced with a replica?!

@BackFromTheDud Good this from her. I must say xx

#Jenrick looks quite exposed on ##BBCLAURAK, seemingly making things up on the fly in an almost #Johnson kind of way

"Look, we'll get rid of the ECHR and THEN sort out NI" - RJ

"Look, we'll get #Brexit done and THEN sort out NI" - BJ

@Geri @BackFromTheDud ooh dear. The hubris of the man. He thinks he's going to sort out the issues in northern Ireland. Better people than him have come to grief by blundering in there like a bull in a china shop.
@Geri So RB thinks he can magic up a British law for the Republican of Ireland (the other party to the treaty) that would be the ECHR but not the ECHR at the same time. The man is a fantasist.

@Geri It is quite possible that #Jenrick is talking a load of twoddle!

(Edited for typo)

@Geri it's Éire, eire is a different word in Irish,
You can usually get the É by a long hold on your keyboard on a touchscreen or using alt-gr to the right of the spacebar on a physical keyboard

@ColmDonoghue I sincerely apologise. Those who follow me know my spelling is not good in my own language.

@Geri

It is utterly, utterly idiotic.

@Geri the entire point of dependence on a European court if that we don’t trust the British courts with our human rights. Primarily because they always go back on anything they agree. Oh, look!
@Geri the British government cannot impose those human rights on any other nations signatories to the Good Friday agreement. That is why the ECHR is baked into the agreement
@Geri
I do not recall Jenrick saying anything correct.
Ever.
