Labour launches urgent investigation into ‘serious failures’ in Alaa Abd El-Fattah case but REFUSES to deport Egyptian extremist

Labour has launched an urgent investigation into what it called “serious failures” relating to Alaa Abd El-Fattah.

Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper said she had asked a senior Foreign Office official to urgently review the “serious information failures” in the case of Alaa Abd El-Fattah.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said: “As Yvette Cooper sets out in her letter, the historic tweets by Alaa Abd El-Fattah are absolutely abhorrent.

“With the rise of antisemitism, and recent horrific attacks, I know this has added to the distress of many in the Jewish community in the UK.”

He continued: “We are taking steps to review the information failures in this case.”

LP Staff Writers

Writers at Lord’s Press come from a range of professional backgrounds, including history, diplomacy, heraldry, and public administration. Many publish anonymously or under initials—a practice that reflects the publication’s long-standing emphasis on discretion and editorial objectivity. While they bring expertise in European nobility, protocol, and archival research, their role is not to opine, but to document. Their focus remains on accuracy, historical integrity, and the preservation of events and individuals whose significance might otherwise go unrecorded.
