On Friday, February 23rd, the UK's Court of Appeal rejected the case of Shamima Begum to have her British citizenship reinstated. The 15 year old schoolgirl had run away in 2015 to join the Islamic State and marry a jihadi. In 2019, the Home Secretary revoked her British citizenship, on the grounds that she had a Bangladeshi passport, and she’s been fighting to return home since then.

Is this new ruling a victory for national security, or a wound to the legal premise of liberty?

Former Supreme Court justice Lord Jonathan Sumption, one of the great legal minds of his generation, joined UnHerd's Freddie Sayers to discuss the Begum case.
