BRITAIN must quit the European Convention of Human Rights as a matter of “leave or die”, Robert Jenrick will warn today.
The Tory leadership frontrunner will blast Strasbourg judges for strangling our ability to deport foreign murderers, rapists and paedophiles.

Failing to cut ties will only embolden Nigel Farage’s Reform which could “condemn us to obscurity”, he will tell party activists.
Mr Jenrick will make the pledge at a non-sanctioned “rebel rally” on the outskirts of the Birmingham conference this morning.
He will say: “The choice is clear, it’s leave or remain.
"In fact it’s more than that – it is leave or die.

“If we don’t do this now, we’ll never restore the public’s trust and there’s every chance that Reform will grow and grow and condemn us to obscurity.”
Mr Jenrick is also agitating for an annual cap on legal migration to bring down the numbers.
Blasting 14 years of broken promises, he will say: “Our party’s survival rests on restoring our credibility on immigration.
"If we continue to duck and dance around this question our party has no future.”
