The best (and least controversial) answer to this is to abolish the Human Rights Act, which embeds the ECHR into our own law. That will make life much more difficult for Human Rights lawyers who try to game our system. I think something like that would meet with approval across all wings of our party.
Starmer will never do that of course which is why, in this policy review, we need to introduce such a measure. This approach would also not create any problems with the Good Friday agreement. Obviously any ECHR rulings would just be ignored as they often were in the past.
