[T]o regain control of our borders properly and faithfully to the British people we do need to ultimately leave the European Convention on Human Righ… - Suella Braverman

I have been wondering what, if anything, might persuade Suella Braverman that her rhetoric and strategy to slash immigration might conceivably have gone too far. Nigel Farage staging an intervention? Tommy Robinson calling for a "cooling-off period"? A social media post by Donald Trump urging the home secretary to "take it easy over there in Scotland"?

On Monday, at the "National Conservative" conference in London, she declared that net annual migration to the UK must be reduced as a matter of urgency, lest Britons become irrevocably "dependent" on foreign labour and start "forgetting how to do things for ourselves".

If cultural change is too rapid and too big, then what was already there is diluted. Eventually it will disappear.
