The prime minister has met with a mother who has been on hunger strike for 140 days telling her he will do “all that I can” to secure the release of her jailed British-Egyptian son.

Laila Soueif has previously criticised Sir Keir Starmer for not responding to her and says time is running out as her health worsens.
