Lib Dems Defeat Farage's Bill to Withdraw from ECHR

Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey delivered an impassioned speech in defense of the European Court of Human Rights, highlighting numerous examples of its role in ensuring justice for British citizens and maintaining checks and balances against state overreach.
