David Cameron says Britain should quit the European Convention on Human Rights, backing Kemi Badenoch's hardline stance on migration. Speaking on Bloomberg's Mishal Husain show, the former prime minister said mainstream politicians had failed to tackle illegal crossings, which he believes has fuelled populism. He urged doing whatever it takes to stop small boats. He said fixing it would allow calmer debate on other issues.
