More foreign criminals will face getting deported as Boris Johnson takes aim at European human rights laws
It means criminals will only be able to use measures afforded by Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, the right to a family life, to stop themselves being kicked out of the UK.
And some in the Government believe the move could see the UK leaving the European Convention on Human Rights - a significant act that would attract heavy criticism. The Times reported one Government source as saying the exemption could be so narrow that a criminal could only argue that they should remain if a family member is dying.
"We will still be clamping down on those who try and use either media or free speech to incite violence, to radicalise terrorists, or to threaten children. All of those safeguards will be in place," he told the Daily Mail.
