Sir Keir Starmer has thrown his weight behind the deportation of an Albanian migrant trying to stay in the UK because his son did not hold foreign chicken nuggets.
The prime minister responded to a recoil after an Albanian criminal came up, was partly allowed to stay in Great -Britain because his son has 'aversion' for eating.
The statement of an immigration ribunal stated that it would be 'unnecessary hard' for the 10-year-old boy to be forced to go back with his father because of his sensory problems with different types of food.
The judge admitted the father's appeal against deportation as a violation of his right to a family life as a result.
But now the Prime Minister has pronounced the decision and supported an appeal against the move launched by the home secretary Yvette Cooper of his Labor Government.
The official spokesperson for Sir Keir said that he's intervention against the suggestion 'absolutely supports', it would be 'unnecessarily hard' for the young person to go to Albania with his father because of his sensitivity about food.
The tribunal heard how the boy had an aversion to 'the type of chicken nuggets that is available abroad'.
Now an upper grandstand has suggested that the case is being reconsidered – with the support of both MS Cooper and Sir Keir.

A spokesperson for the prime minister said: 'I think the Upper Tier tribunal has already sent this case back to be taken into consideration again. It is difficult to comment on specific cases afterwards.
“But the Minister of the Interior rightly appealed against this case through the courts, and the prime minister absolutely supports that process.”
It is said that around 34,169 asylum cases are excellent at the moment – a five -fold increase in the past two years compared to 6,386 professions that can still be heard in 2022.
Albanian Kervis Disha, 39, came to the UK illegally in February 2001 when he was a 15-year-old child.
He came in a false name and claimed to be born in the former Yugoslavia.
His asylum claim was rejected, but he assured British citizenship in 2007 after he had been given exceptional leave to stay and then indefinite leave.
In 2017 he was imprisoned for two years after he was caught at £ 250,000 in cash, which is known to be the yield of crime.
The then secretary Priti Patel ordered that he had to be deported to Albania and his British citizenship had to be stripped, but Disha appealed and was supported by a judge in an immigration ribunal.

The judge ruled that deportation would be unfair towards his son – only known as C – to stay in the UK and to be separated from his father, or to be forced to go with him to Albania.
It was said that C has 'sensory difficulties' with some clothing, such as socks, and certain types of food, which meant that he would 'refuse to do something'.
The 'additional' needs of the child were only supported by evidence of a trainee -education psychologist, a neighbor and a family friend.
There was no formal diagnosis of special educational needs, the Telegraph reported.
But he did have an educational plan to go with his “emotional regulations, independence; Read and write. '
Another judge in the upper tribunal did not agree with the assessment that the needs of the child could not be fulfilled if he was brought back to Albania.
Mrs. Cooper appealed against the judgment in August last year, with the argument that there was not enough evidence to show that the deportation of Disha would be 'unnecessarily hard' on his son.
Upper Tribunal Judge David Merrigan, who made the last judgment on the case, agreed – to return the appeal to a new judge for further investigation.

“We can only see a single example in the decision why C could not go to Albania,” judge Merrigan said and said, “We are not convinced that the addition of this only example somewhere near the level of hardness for a Reasonable judge approaches a reasonable judge to find it “unnecessary”. '
The judge said that the only example why the boy could not go was that he will “not eat the kind of chicken nuggets that is available abroad.”
“We are not convinced that the addition of this only example is approaching everywhere near the level of hardness for a reasonable judge to find it 'unnecessary',” he added.
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said The Telegraph: “This case shows how fake asylum seekers and foreign criminals exploit ruthless human rights laws and weak judges to stay in the UK.”
The case will be wrapped by another court to decide whether the consequences of deportation would be too loud for the 10-year-old boy. The case is underway.
A spokesperson for the home office said: 'Foreign nationals who commit horrible crimes must have no doubt that we will do everything we can to ensure that they are not free in the streets of Britain, including removal from the UK as quickly as possible.
“Since the elections we have removed 2,580 foreign criminals, an increase of 23 percent compared to the same period 12 months earlier.”
The home office was rarely released this week, images of migrants who were deported to their home country, because it wanted to project a difficult attitude on defending the Great -Britain borders.
Officials said they had made 5,074 forced reports between July 5, 2024 and January 31, 2025 – an increase of almost a quarter before the previous year. They said that a total of 2,925 foreign national offenders were removed.
Most proceeds are voluntary, with people who do not have permission to remain able to receive payments up to £ 3,000 in Great -Britain to help re -location abroad.
