The Tories are presenting a bill to Parliament today to block the Chagos surrender deal. The bill – titled the British Indian Ocean Territory (Sovereignty and Constitutional Arrangements) Bill – will seek to make sure the Chagos Islands fall back under British sovereignty and that it cannot be surrendered without Parliamentary approval. The sellout is costing the taxpayer £30.3 billion. Or one and half Reeves ‘black holes’…
Shadow foreign secretary Priti Patel, who is presenting the bill, said:
“Keir Starmer and David Lammy have been too busy cosying up to their left-wing lawyer friends and activists to defend our national interests. Parliament must put a stop to this shameful surrender deal and legislate to protect our sovereignty, the rights of British Chagossians and taxpayers’ money.”
The Tories have also teamed up with Reform to table an Early Day Motion against the sellout. Unfortunately none of this will work as the government can overrule any opposition with its massive majority…
Red Wall Labour backbencher Jonathan Brash told GB News that Starmer should resign:
“I’m completely fed up about it, and I think it’s got to the point now where I genuinely think that, as far as the Prime Minister is concerned, it’s not a case of if, it’s when.”
