The Conservative Party has called for an Egyptian activist to be deported from the UK and for his British citizenship to be revoked.
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.
