The Labour leader described the Home Office's decision to strip Shamima Begum of UK citizenship as a "very extreme manoeuvre". The Labour leader insisted Ms Begum, who left the UK aged 15 to go to Syria, should "face a lot of questions" in Britain over her support for so-called Islamic State. He added: "Well, she obviously has, in my view, a right to return to Britain. Home Secretary Sajid Javid has refused to comment on individual cases but insisted that the UK would never leave someone stateless. Ms Begum told ITV News she may pursue citizenship through the Netherlands having married a Dutch jihadi while in Syria.
