** BREAKING ** Conservatives will be BANNED from standing as Tory candidates at the next general election unless they sign up to leaving the European Convention on Human Rights, Kemi Badenoch tells @CamillaTominey. @GBNEWS Camilla Tominey: Robert Jenrick, your colleague has suggested that if they don't sign up to this plan, they should be kicked out of the party. Do you agree with that? Kemi Badenoch: Well, I was very clear at the shadow cabinet where we agreed completely. It was unanimous that we cannot have a party where people do not abide by manifesto commitments. If you do not agree with leaving the ECHR, then you should not and cannot stand as a conservative candidate at the election. CT: So are you saying you will kick people out if they rebel against this? KB: They can be in the party but they cannot stand as MPs. CT: They cannot stand at the next general election? KB: No no no no no. We have lots of members who have lots of views. We don't remove people for having slightly different views on policy. But if you want to be a Member of Parliament as a Conservative, then you need to understand that leaving the ECHR is a manifesto commitment. More now at @GBNEWS.
