Mark Elliott sees four areas where Labour's shift to worsen the rights of refugees is intended to confront the European Convention on Human Rights:

Removing obligations around destitution;

Reducing weight of private & family life;

(as noted yesterday) changing the threshold for inhumane & degrading treatment;

Shifting legal practice(s) on refugees.

Elliott sees this as explicitly intending to provoke the Courts into conflict with the Govt.
