The UK government’s position was always that it wasn’t making her stateless as she is entitled to Bangladeshi citizenship through her parents. So from their point of view they weren’t making her stateless.
Funnily enough the Bangladeshi government at the time turned around and said, fuck that she’s British, she’s never even been here!.
The UK government were never looking for powers to make people stateless. Although on a technicality they were quite happy to make someone not British. There’s a subtle difference, I hope you can see.
Anyway, that was the previous Tory government so it will be interesting to see what Labour’s position is on this. The new Labour Home Secretary could simply override the previous decision and allow her back in.
This is such a concerning president, hopefully the ECHR overturns this. The government shouldn’t have the power to make you stateless.
