As ever, jokes aside, Labour will only ever lose to their right. So weakening protections from/opportunities to show opposition to the right as and when is endlessly reckless.
But we need to allow that a number of Labour MPs think cracking down on freedom to protest or attacking the ECHR is good.

The problem with this ‘let’s weaken our commitment to the ECHR so as to fend off Farage’ plan is that when it doesn’t work, we end up with Farage *and* a weakened commitment to the ECHR at exactly the moment we need the ECHR the most.
