Playing politics with a child’s life shames us all

Jess Phillips is right, playing politics with a child’s life shames us all.

Shamima Begum is not a sympathetic character. Who was when they were her age? When I was nineteen I was as forthright in my opinions as anyone who knew nothing. What’s the difference between her and say Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon, aka Tommy Robinson?

The problem this case highlights is a warning. If Sajid Javid, and politician like him, get to choose who and who is not a British citizen, based on their whims, then we may all at some point be facing deportation.
