What happened?: According to reports, a Palestinian family of six was allowed to come to the UK on appeal, after they used the scheme designed for Ukrainian refugees to enter the country

When was this?: The family’s first application to join the father’s brother (who is a British citizen) was refused in May last year, but an appeal on the right to family life under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) was successful in January

The judge said: The youngest children, aged seven and nine, are “at a high risk of death or serious injury on a daily basis” and that it is “overwhelmingly” in their best interests to be in a safe or safer environment together with their parents and siblings

Kemi Badenoch said today: “This is not what the [Ukrainian] scheme was designed to do”

Keir Starmer agreed: “She’s right, it’s the wrong decision”

But Starmer stressed that: The decision was taken under the last government, “according to the legal framework of that government”

He added that: The home secretary is now looking at closing the legal loophole that was relied on by the Palestinian family
