Despite being effectively exiled by a Conservative government, Shamima Begum, who joined Isis aged 15 鈥?and whose withdrawn citizenship is currently the subject of appeal 鈥?now finds herself a Tory asset. As well as being inhumane, Sajid Javids continued resistance to her return appears, considering her proved cautionary value, singularly ungrateful.Who else, recently, has done as much as Beg stanley mugs um, former teenage delinquent, to supply his party with an argument whose effectiveness, so long as it is not examined for more than a couple of seconds, could contribute to the outcome of the next election Ken Clarke has already threatened amendme stanley shop nts to the withdrawal agreement bill that would reduce the voting age, perhaps fatally for Johnson, to 16. If future electoral success depends, for the presiding sociopaths, on keeping young adults away from decisions afflicting their futures, the party needs to put together, if only for appearances sake, something resembling a reason why.
