The Bethnal Green family’s lawyer Tasnime Akunjee said they are considering "all legal avenues" following the government’s bombshell move. Begum, 19, ran off with two school pals in February, 2015 to join the terrorist group’s so-called caliphate in Syria when she was aged 15. Terrorist-supporter Begum gave birth to a baby boy in a refugee camp last weekend and is now begging to return to Britain.

But the Home Office informed Begum’s family she has now lost her British citizenship, with Home Secretary Sajid Javid branding the teenager a member of a “death cult”.
Mr Akunjee said Begum’s family is “very disappointed” by Mr Javid’s decision, which was revealed in a letter to the family this week.
The Home Office letter read: “Please find enclosed papers that relate to a decision taken by the Home Secretary, to deprive your daughter, Shamima Begum, of her British citizenship.
"In light of the circumstances of your daughter, the notice of the Home Secretary's decision has been served of file today (19th February), and the order removing her British citizenship has subsequently been made."
