Several specific ones:

- Leaving the European Convention on Human Rights (joining the hallowed company of Russia and Belarus!)

- leaving the World Health Organisation

- get rid of net-zero climate targets, replacing them with fast-tracked approval for more North Sea oil & gas licenses and fracking

- public enquiry on “Vaccine Harms”
