    A `betrayal`of British values;Tories accused of damaging UK`s reputation on Human Rights.

    Government attacks on human rights legislation were condemned tonight as an "unhinged" betrayal of British values, destined

    to destroy the country's reputation on the world stage.

    As the Home Secretary and Justice Secretary separately threatened to draw back from the European Court on Human Rights,

    the Conservative Party was accused of being in disarray and caving in to the right after its humiliating defeat in the Eastleigh by-

    election.

    Leading lawyers and human rights advocates said ministers risked making the UK a pariah state alongside Belarus - the only

    European country that has not signed the European Convention on Human Rights. On a day when David Cameron claimed

    there would be no "lurch to the right" in the wake of the Eastleigh result, both Chris Grayling and Theresa May were accused of

    pandering to the far right of their party.
