Badenoch urges deportation of Alaa Abd El-Fattah after his extremist posts resurface.

 

 

 

Tory leader Kemi Badenoch has blasted Keir Starmer after the Prime Minister rolled out the red carpet for Egyptian-born activist Alaa Abd El-Fattah — despite a history of online rants calling for violence against Jews, police and even white people.

El-Fattah, who gained British citizenship through his mother, flew into the UK on Boxing Day after years in Egyptian detention. Starmer gushed that he was “delighted” to see the dissident finally reunited with his family — only for a catalogue of vile historic tweets to explode into public view within hours.

 

In them, El-Fattah allegedly called for the killing of Zionists “including civilians,” urged mobs to attack police and bragged about hating white people. Some posts even denied the Holocaust. Furious Badenoch said his citizenship should be ripped up immediately, declaring Britain is “a home, not a hotel for people who hate us.”

 

The backlash has left Labour reeling. Senior MPs warned Starmer has shattered trust with Britain’s Jewish community — especially after recent anti-Semitic attacks. Reform UK joined calls to deport El-Fattah, accusing both major parties of disgraceful double standards.

 

El-Fattah has since issued a grovelling apology, blaming “youthful anger” and claiming the posts were misread. But critics say it is “inconceivable” that ministers and civil servants did not already know about his online record — and the Board of Deputies of British Jews slammed the lack of basic vetting.

 

Now the pressure is on Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood to act — with growing demands for El-Fattah’s citizenship to be revoked and for him to be removed from Britain altogether.

 

What began as a victory lap for Starmer has turned into a full-blown political scandal — and questions are mounting over why a man who spewed hate online was welcomed into the country with open arms.

 

• Badenoch urges deportation of Alaa Abd El-Fattah after extremist posts resurface.

• Starmer criticised for welcoming the dissident’s arrival in the UK.

• El-Fattah apologises, claiming the posts reflected youthful anger, not his current views.

Labor would do anything, literally anything to be able to import a new lefty voter. 

And yet under Sunak, the "whole House" agreed he should be released and it was the Johnson government that granted him citizenship! Such hypocrisy.   Well done to Labour for getting him out.

 

"Former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak repeatedly stated that the Egyptian activist Alaa Abd el-Fattah should be released. 

Sunak, along with other successive UK governments (both Conservative and Labour), lobbied the Egyptian government for Abd el-Fattah's release. 

Key points regarding Sunak's involvement:

In November 2022, ahead of the COP27 summit in Egypt, Sunak wrote to Abd el-Fattah's family, stating that securing his release was a "priority" for his government and that he was "totally committed to resolving" the case.

He personally raised the issue with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi during the summit, noting the situation was becoming "more urgent by the day".

In December 2024, during a UK parliamentary debate, it was noted that four consecutive UK Prime Ministers had demanded Alaa's release."
