Shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick said Alaa Abdel Fattah should "be made to live in Egypt or frankly anywhere else in the world" after social media messages emerged of him calling for Zionists to be killed.
UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has been criticised for being "delighted" at Fattah's arrival, but it is understood he was unaware of the messages before this week. The Foreign Office said it had been "a long-standing priority under successive governments" to work for Fattah's release and see him reunited with his family in the UK, but condemned his "abhorrent" posts.
