@Steven_Swinford @Smyth_Chris Why do *elected* ministers have to convince an *unelected* body? Total madness that policy is being crafted to cater for OBR forecasts.

Very kind of @LabourRealists to make reference to my work in this brilliant piece. It, among other things, argues against an expanding and constricting vision of the rule of law via Labour’s maximalist approach to international law and compliance.
It's easy to acknowledge that the strategic environment has changed. But to unshackle ministerial decision making, Labour needs to change its current approach to international law. Our latest piece on International Law and Labour Realism:

@HCH_Hill Indeed. The extent of Churchill’s involvement was limited and was only ever in relation to the European Movement’s initial draft. It was the Attlee government who negotiated, significantly weakened Convention proposals, and rejected the ECtHR. Wish this was more commonly known!
