Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson has vowed to eradicate any Brits who flee the UK to fight IS
Despite outrage from Labour and the legal establishment, he is standing by his original decision that the extremists should not be allowed back on British soil.
He said the UK should do everything to “eliminate that threat” but critics accused him of being “juvenile” and endorsing action more suited to a “Netflix series”.
The new defence chief told the Daily Mail: “The British people want to make sure that our streets are safe.
“The British people are incredibly proud of our Armed Forces, the work they do – making sure that the people who are a threat to this country are not able to continue to threaten this country.
