Attorney General Suella Braverman has refused to rule out Britain withdrawing from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) after a flight taking asylum seekers to Rwanda was halted at the last moment.

Braverman said “all options are on the table” and said many people would be “frustrated” about a court in Strasbourg giving a ruling which effectively grounded the plane on Tuesday night.
