Conservative Victory! After months of campaigning, weโve won our fight to stop Starmerโs Chagos Islands surrender ๐ฌ๐ง



EXCLUSIVE Sir Keir Starmer has been forced to drop legislation which would cede sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius in a further deterioration of relations with Donald Trump The Times has been told that a bill underpinning the controversial deal will not be included in the King's Speech next month after the US president branded it an "act of great stupidity" and withdrew his support The government stands by the deal and will attempt to persuade Trump to change his mind but has acknowledged that it cannot proceed without his backing Ministers are "deeply frustrated" with Trump, who initially supported the deal after extensive discussions between intelligence agencies but changed his mind during a dispute with Nato over plans to seize Greenland The government believes that it puts the future of Diego Garcia, the UK-US base in the islands which has been used during the Iran war, at risk It is concerned that Mauritius will mount a legal challenge granting it access to the waters around Diego Garcia, making it harder for the base to host nuclear submarines and patrol surrounding waters The deal was highly contentious. It would have seen Britain hand over the islands to Mauritius before immediately entering into a 99-year lease for Diego Garcia. The government claimed it would cost ยฃ3.5billion, although the Tories disputed this and said it would cost ยฃ35billion his over its lifetime. thetimes.com/uk/politics/arโฆ

The Chagos Islands deal is dead. Keir Starmerโs assurances to President Trump clearly havenโt landed. As the reasons for his decision to give away our sovereign territory, and with it Diego Garcia, unravel, the Government must pull this bill. There is no justification to do it.
