Cleverly on ECHR: Cracks in Badenoch’s reshuffle starting to show

23 Jul 2025

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to James Cleverly refusing to say whether he agreed with Kemi Badenoch’s statement regarding leaving the ECHR, Liberal Democrat Cabinet Office Spokesperson, Sarah Olney MP said:

“It's only been one day and the cracks in Kemi Badenoch’s reshuffle are already starting to appear.

“She has appointed someone to her shadow cabinet who clearly disagrees with her views on leaving the ECHR and tearing up Winston Churchill's legacy.

“Bringing back James Cleverly doesn't change the fact that the Conservative Party is chasing after Reform’s tail and abandoning moderate voters in the centre ground.”
