Nigel Farage revealed that pulling Britain out of a European human rights treaty would be one of the first things he would do if he becomes prime minister. The Reform UK leader was asked during an LBC phone-in what his first act would be if he entered Downing Street.

He said: "I tell you what we're going to do when we win the next election, which I believe we can, I genuinely now do believe we can, I think the appetite for change is out there.

It comes as the Labour Government is seeking to tighten the interpretation of the human rights laws in the UK.
In a speech last month, the Justice Secretary said the ECHR must be reformed as public confidence in the rule of law across the continent is "fraying".
Shabana Mahmood told the Council of Europe in a speech in Strasbourg the ECHR "must evolve" to respond to new realities.
