Judge who granted Palestinian family asylum made wrong call, says Keir Starmer

Family fleeing Gaza were allowed to join brother in UK after applying through scheme meant for Ukrainian refugees

A judge who granted a Palestinian family the right to live in the UK after they applied through a scheme originally meant for Ukrainian refugees made the wrong decision, Keir Starmer has said.

A family of six seeking to flee Gaza were allowed to join their brother in the UK after an immigration judge ruled that the Home Office’s rejection of their application breached their human rights, it emerged on Tuesday.
