Rishi Sunak has refused to be drawn on whether he will fight the general election on withdrawal from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), telling critics to "wait for the manifesto".

The PM has previously said that controlling illegal migration is "more important" than membership of the ECHR, saying he would not let a "foreign court" interfere with a policy that is "fundamental to our sovereignty".

But Sunak has drawn criticism on not pulling out of the convention - not least from former Home Secretary Suella Braverman, who claimed last month that the current Government hasn't "laid the groundwork" to quit the ECHR.

And Braverman also counselled against including any kind of withdrawal plan in a manifesto.

She said: "It should be noted that any attempt to include a plan for ECHR withdrawal in a losing Conservative Party election manifesto risks setting the cause back a generation."

The PM has played coy on on ECHR membership with the election looming
