Keir Starmer has defended handing control of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, despite criticism from Conservative leadership candidates.
The Prime Minister said the deal secures the future of the key US-UK military base on Diego Garcia, calling it “the most important thing.”
Critics worry the move could allow China to gain influence in the Indian Ocean and raise concerns over other British territories.
While Labour finalised the deal, it was initiated by the Conservatives under Liz Truss, with James Cleverly, a current leadership contender, leading the negotiations.

He has to go, no question, the man is dangerous for Britain, soon he will hand over control of the UK to the Muslims, absolutely discusting
Did he even discuss this with the King or anyone in fact, he's a muppet a traitorous idiot
Surely The King will not sign this into Law.
according to what we have seen over recent times, some individual should be able to go to court here and get this deal overturned. if a south American woman can turn a referendum on its head getting this stopped should be a piece of cake.
If these islands should be given away to anyone, surely it should be to the islanders so cruelly evicted by us in the first place.l'me sure , with the right remu eration, they could be persuaded to allow the americans to keep enough of their base to be usefull to them but, maybe with a caveat that they don't use it for illegal rendition or torture. What a dream settlement that would be. The islanders back home, the torture victims safe in Guantanamo, the Americans still eavesdropping in the Indian Ocean and the area still viewed as a special conservation zone. It would be that rare and beautiful creature; a win win win win situation. Who could possibly object?
Isobel talks a lot of crap
Now we will have Argentina claiming the Falklands again. Starmer has shown how weak he is. He has shown the World that the UK is open to handing all their overseas territories back to whoever has a legitimate claim. The braindeads at the top of Government are out of control. Even the Chargossians had no say in this. Starmer is a moron. We have had some idiots as PM (Boris Johnson) but Starmer takes the biscuit.
If you want to see how sorry a state this Labour government is in you only have to look at who our Foreign Secretary is – David Lammy. Surely the first time we have had an amoeba as FS. and a single-cell amoeba would be a step up from Lammy.
Don’t worry by the time we are full of illegal islamist men who would want this country!
Isabel could have been bodica in a former life
Put the people who lived there back
The word Traitor comes to mind.
He needs to go. ASAP
The only embarrassing thing at the moment is Starmer. !!!!!!!
So,as far as this poxy Socialist regime is concerned the sacrifices made by our armed forces to secure the Falkland Islands count for nothing.
Has Britain been taken over by closet Islamists and Communists?
AleX is putting weight on !!!
That man is genuinely dangerous.
I cant understand why anyone voted for this bunch of numpties , it was so obvious they would be a total disaster , you only have to look at the motley crew of amateurs to know where it would go ,
He didn’t answer because he had to go back to No.10 where someone told him what to say.
Utter rubbish, you need to sort farage to stop lying.
Diego Garcia is where MH370 is.
