Dominic Grieve questions Robert Jenrick’s fitness for office over misinformation
Dominic Grieve has sharply criticised Robert Jenrick’s video on the European Convention on Human Rights, accusing him of misleading the public, misrepresenting legal principles, and promoting dangerous rhetoric that should disqualify him from high office.
TL;DR | Highlights from this story
● Dominic Grieve criticizes Robert Jenrick’s video on the European Convention on Human Rights as misleading and manipulative.
● Grieve dissects Jenrick’s claims about asylum, military operations, and terrorism laws, calling them inaccurate distortions.
● He highlights Jenrick’s failure to address the serious legal, diplomatic, and geopolitical consequences of leaving the ECHR.

I n a sweeping critique, Dominic Grieve, Vice-President of the European Movement UK, former Conservative MP (1997-2019) and former Attorney General, delivered a scathing rebuke of former Immigration Minister and Conservative Party leadership contender Robert Jenrick’s recent video on the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
Grieve’s remarks, shared on X (formerly Twitter), systematically dismantled Jenrick’s arguments on migration, security, and the broader role of the ECHR in the UK. With a forensic approach to detail, Grieve highlighted not only Jenrick’s misrepresentation of key legal principles but also called into question his suitability for political office — particularly the highest one.
