It seems that Theresa May really does not believe in human rights. For years, while at the Home Office, she inveighed against the Human Rights Act and even the European Convention (ECHR). In view of her shifts over membership of the EU, I was beginning to put that down to her being a prisoner of a reactionary Home Office. However, even as prime minister, she has shown a desire to wriggle out of the UK's commitment to human rights, as Ed Davey has recently spotted.
