Keeping Rishi Sunak as Tory leader could scupper the chance to leave the European Convention on Human Rights for 'a generation', Suella Braverman will warn today.
In an incendiary speech, the former home secretary and long-time ECHR opponent will accuse the Prime Minister of not being serious about leaving the treaty.
She will brand suggestions from No 10 that the PM is open to leaving as 'inauthentic'.
And she will warn Right-leaning party colleagues eager to leave that promising to do so in a losing election manifesto risks 'setting the cause back' for a decade or more.
This is because Labour, which wants to remain in the ECHR, is expected to storm to victory with such a big majority it could be at least two terms before the Tories can regain power.
