In February last year – just before Trump’s White House meeting with Starmer – the then-Foreign Secretary David Lammy said the Chagos deal would not go ahead if Trump didn’t like it. Good to know…
Robert Peston asked: “Does President Trump have a veto?”
Lammy: “If President Trump doesn’t like the deal, the deal will not go forward. And the reason for that is because we have a shared military and intelligence interest with the United States. And of course, they’ve got to be happy with the deal or there is no deal.”
Clear-cut…
Following Andrew Rosindell’s defection, Nigel Farage posted on X:
“Andrew Rosindell will not be the last MP to put country before party before the deadline on May 7th.”
