I suspect the real aim was to push the UK away from ECHR.
Current Affairs The next Tory (strong and stable) leader is Boris Johnson

If the Tories keep on breaking the law there are consequences. With every day that goes by another nail in the coffin of the Conservative party. Has there ever been a political party of such incompetence, I feel embarrassed for them.

If we flounce out of the ECHR, then the Good Friday Agreement will die. Which in turn will further harden the US's attitude towards the UK, we would unify Democrats and Republicans the rarest of feats. It's not a good idea to get into the bad books of a global super power in particular when seeking trade deal.
But then it's not Tory party of old it's Boris and chums. Can see The Human Rights Act actually being watered down for us citizens with some dodgy bill of rights which will make it easier for the Tories to strip all sorts of rights away from us. Employment rights being the first to go to make us "Competitive". A race to the bottom. Meanwhile all foreign nationals that enter UK by any means will continue to have full protections.

But it’s all true you nazi apologist.
The country is on its arse and look at the state of you, supporting it.
If you actually deal with the substance of what Pete says, it completely falls apart because the solution the Government propose is unworkable, a terrible use of public money and likely illegal.
That's not a solution.
Watering down the HRA is not a solution either, neither is backing out of the ECHR. The Geneva Convention is the main source of refugee protection and backing out of the others removes protection for everyone, rather than refugees, and the other destabilises the NIP and GFA.
Plucking bad ideas out of thin air which are a waste of public money and time are not solutions.
It's like asking "how do you improve Everton?" and saying "just get better" or "be more like Man City".

The slight of hand here is that removing the HRA doesn't just make life more dangerous for migrants, it makes life more dangerous for everybody. Except rich members of the establishment, who will be forever insulated from consequences.

And that's the reason for many of these suppposedly "erratic" or "crazy" decisions. Its all been planned to lead to this- people cheerleading losing all their own rights because they think it'll only affect "others". What we don't know is what they've got planned with this new power they will inevitably have
It's very similar to the people who decry "leftist/activist" lawyers, until they need them to formulate a carefully worded response to a Met Police questionnaire.

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t…
“Efforts to get protective equipment to health workers on the coronavirus frontline are getting “worse not better”, Sir Keir Starmer claimed at Prime Minister’s Questions.
The Labour leader urged ministers not to ignore "pleas" from workers dealing with the coronavirus pandemic amid warnings that vital equipment remains hard-to-get.”….
Stuff that actually works they need ….
Just made this a bit more accurate.
Damned if you do it badly and inefficiently, damned if you don’t do it at all.
