Mr Lammy said: “Shamima Begum will not be coming back to the UK.

“It’s gone right through the courts. She’s not a UK national.

“We will not be bringing her back to the UK. We’re really clear about that.

“We will act in our security interests.

“And many of those in those camps are dangerous, are radicals.”

A row over the Jihadi bride erupted yesterday after Mr Gorka declared that any country wanting to be a “serious ally” of the US must take back its citizens that joined death-cult ISIS and are now languishing in Syrian camps.

He said: “Any nation which wishes to be seen as a serious ally and friend of the most powerful nation in the world should act in a fashion that reflects that serious commitment.

“That is doubly so for the UK, which has a very special place in President Trump’s heart, and we would all wish to see the ‘special relationship’ fully re-established.”

Blasting the call, Mr Lammy declared that the government will “always put British security interests first”.

Begum is believed to be one of 20 women, 40 children and 10 men born in Britain being held in a camp.

The Jihadi sympathiser was 15 when she travelled from her home in Bethnal Green, in East London to ISIS-controlled territory in 2015.

She was “married off” to a bloodthirsty fighter and then stripped of her British citizenship in 2019.

The recent upheaval in Syria and collapse of tyrant Bashar al-Assad’s regime has put the future of camps holding IS-linked prisoners in doubt.

Begum’s lawyer Tasnime Akunjee said her hopes of returning were “bolstered” after the successful revolution.

But a source warned The Sun: “If Shamima is allowed back in it could open the floodgates to 100 others.

“The security services keep tabs on those people in Syrian camps with a claim to UK citizenship.

“They pose a risk and would take a massive amount of resources to watch.”
