A political storm has erupted in the UK after Labour leader Keir Starmer's government announced a deal to return the Chagos Islands to Mauritius. The decision has sparked outrage among Conservative MPs, who accuse Starmer of 'surrendering' a key strategic asset to a country they claim is aligned with China. While the UK will retain control over the Diego Garcia military base, critics argue that the move weakens Britain's global standing and could benefit Beijing. The Chagos Islands have long been a point of contention, with Mauritius claiming sovereignty over the territory.

It's about time the UK starts righting the wrongs of its colonial past, and returning the Chagos Islands to Mauritius is a step in the right direction for justice and self-determination.

About time the UK gives back what it stole—imperialism's days are numbered!

This is yet another example of our government bending over backwards to appease foreign powers at the expense of British interests. The Chagos Islands are a crucial part of our strategic defence and handing them over only weakens our position on the global stage. Starmer is playing right into the hands of China and their allies, showing a complete lack of backbone. Britain should be standing firm and protecting our territories, not giving them away to the highest bidder.

Furious Tories accuse Keir Starmer of 'surrendering' Chagos Islands to an 'ally of Beijing' after historic sovereignty deal with Mauritius
Keir Starmer has been slammed for a 'dangerous capitulation' that will hand British territory to 'an ally of Beijing'.
