Starmer Refuses To Rule Out Signing Away British Overseas Territories

[naomi24]

Former Defence Secretary, Sir Alec Shelbrooke said 'There will certainly be concerns under an unpatriotic Labour who are embarrassed about our country' and ex-PM Boris Johnson, who called the Chagos deal 'crazy' said 'Why are we doing this?  Sheer political correctness, desire to look like the good guys, as if we're unbundling the last relics of our empire. It's nonsense'.

 

I'm sorry I can't post a link but several papers are reporting it.

 

Starmer is, in my opinion, a danger to this country and the sooner he goes the better.

Robert Jenrick, the frontrunner to become the next Tory leader, said the Conservative Party must display its “staunch opposition to the principle of the agreement”.

Labour: 403 seats

The Rest: 247 seats

As far as I know 

the future of the Falklands or Gibraltar are not in doubt.

Who posed this mischievous question, some right-wing journalist?

The likes of Gibraltar, The Falklands and Turks & Caicos do not want to "handed back" or otherwise given independence. They wish to remain as British Territories, but I wouldn't trust Starmer as far as I could throw him.

I think it will be an interesting debate; I imagine lots of abstentions, notwithstanding the Upper House, and Starmer's rating at rock-bottom, even in his own party.

How much is the UK taxpayer gonna be giving Mauritius & WHY?

[davebro3]

Is it to fund the Mauritius WFA?🤣

[naomi24]

Davebro, the amount hasn't been disclosed - nor, as far as I know, has  Starmer given a reason.

Strange he won't say how much is being given to Mauritius. Lisa Nandy was on the radio recently saying being 'open and transparent' was the Labour way.
