British Jihadi bride Shamima Begum should give up hope of returning to the UK, Priti Patel, the Home Secretary, has indicated.

Ms Patel said there was “no way” that Ms Begum, 19, would be allowed back into the UK because of her involvement with the “death cult” of the terrorist group Isil.

Ms Begum left Britain to join Isil in Syria in 2015 where she spent more than three years, marrying one of the terror group’s fighters, Yago Riedijk, a Dutch born jihadist.

Last week she pleaded to be allowed to return home, saying her only role in the so-called caliphate was to "make babies".

However, when Ms Begum’s request was put to Ms Patel, the Home Secretary replied: "No way, no way".

"Our job is to keep our country safe," Ms Patel told The Sun. "We don't need people who have done harm and left our country to be part of a death cult and to perpetrate that ideology.
