I call on the Prime Minister to abandon plans to ’overhaul’ the Human Rights Act.
The Human Rights Act protects all of us, all of the time. It protects the most basic and important things – like freedom of expression, liberty and family life. It ensures that public authorities like Government departments, local authorities, and the NHS respect these fundamental rights, and empowers people to enforce their rights in UK courts if they fail to.
The UK Government’s plans will make it more difficult for public bodies to uphold rights and for people to challenge decisions that violate their human rights. These proposals must be scrapped, and the Human Rights Act safeguarded instead.

Save Our Human Rights Act
The UK government have been threatening to gut the Human Rights Act for years. Whilst plans for the Rights Removal Bill have been put on ice - the Human Rights Act remains under threat. Take action now and save our Human Rights Act.
Our Human Rights Act protects all of us. It brings home fundamental, universal rights we all have as human beings, and allows us to challenge authorities if they violate them. It’s an invisible safety net, working to ensure our rights are respected. It is a crucial defence for the most vulnerable.
We know the Human Rights Act works. It worked for the Hillsborough families in their fight for justice. It worked for the victims of John Worboys. It worked to overturn the near total ban on abortion in Northern Ireland. We don’t need to change it.
Call on our new Prime Minister - Rishi Sunak - to save our Human Rights Act.
