We welcome @theobserveruk.bsky.social's piece on myths around the ECHR and UK immigration. Our research shows:
– Misreporting of court cases is common
– Successful human rights appeals are rare
– Evidence, not exaggeration, must guide policy

The report finds that most news and commentary mentioning the ECHR in 2025 focused on immigration control, and that much of the debate has been based on misconceptions about the ECHR, misreporting of immigration tribunal cases, and mischaracterisations of the UK’s system of immigration appeals ⚖️

Italy and Spain slam France over proposed migration pact with UK
Rome and Madrid fear they will have to take back asylum seekers who cross the Channel
In the event the UK and France agree a 'migrant returns' deal there's a potential EU law issue - several Member States have complained to the Commission about France going it alone - www.ft.com/content/423c...
Some thoughts on this possible argument, if there is a deal
