Nigel Farage ‘thoughtful’ about whether UK should bring Shamima Begum back. In the past he has said while he ‘never wanted’ to bring back Shamima Begum, he is now ‘thoughtful’ about the matter and it has drew a sharp response online.
The Reform UK leader is making a u-turn on his comments and said that “instinctively” it is not something he would want to do, but said that he did not view her as an “all-out Isis killer”.
Badenoch takes the Far-right stance
Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch takes the Far-right stance and Starmer moves more central.
His comments drew a sharp response from Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch, who said that under her leadership, the UK would “never” take back Ms Begum, who is currently in a Syrian refugee camp.
As a response to the online backlash, he has since shared an article about the interview on X, rebutting the coverage by saying: “I have never wanted to allow Shamima Begum back into Britain, as I literally say in this interview.”
Earlier this week, Sebastian Gorka said that any nation that wishes to be seen as a “serious ally” of the US should commit to the international fight against the extremist group by taking back citizens currently in the north east of Syria and ever since then Nigel Farage makes a U-turn about Shamima Begum.
