Windrush victim denied UK citizenship despite Home Office admitting error

Trevor Donald, 65, told he has spent too long out of country after being wrongfully denied re-entry

A man who was prevented from returning home to the UK for nine years by the Windrush scandal has been refused British citizenship because of his protracted absence from the country - despite an acknowledgment from the home secretary that the government was to blame.

The case highlights the Home Office's failure to provide justice to some of those affected, almost three years since ministers first promised to right the wrongs caused by the immigration scandal.
