Would make a nice change if Labour did something positive for the UK, they've spent the last 5 months twatting about.

[yebfsvm]

He's desperate to do this deal, that's a red flag.

[ginamaria]

Trust Lammy to abscond before he had to deal with intellectual scrutiny. I wish Priti would join Reform.

[charliebruce]

Why not do an independent vote for the people of the island like the vote to get rid of our useless Labour government.

[southafricandominion]

The Mauritian government treated the people of the British Indian Ocean Territory who were dumped in Mauritius in the 1960s appallingly now the British are adding insult to injury by making them subjects of Mauritius

[suzann]

As Taxpayers we have the right to know on where our taxes are being spent. There aren’t so Secretive when they let people know taxes are rising and pensioners are loosing their winter fuel payments

[robharding]

Thank god we have at least one excellent observant MP, aware of the wrong doings by this pathetic government, Well done NIgel Farage.

[MW-mleq]

So we have to pay to rent our own land? Got it 👍

[TOP.FOX.]

Only a traitor would get rid of chagos islands its the first step towards makeing. our navy weaker.

[crafty-george]

The base does not need protecting, it is a military base. What a joke of a goverment.

[strongtheme]

Imagine, waking up on Christmas morning knowing that the whole country including close friends etc absolutely hate you, lie to you on a daily basis and pray for your demise. It must be horrible.

It's great seeing our three amigos sitting together at the back ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[johnjamesflashman]

Just like Hong Kong, which still hurts.😢

[ivanarchivaldoguzman]

Bamboozled goes hand in hand corruption

[Godwasneveronyoursideever]

Does anyone else laugh at Labour backbenchers standing up for nonreason only to ask questions that their boss knows the answwrr too? Silly

[MrDominicg]

The people that live there Chagossians are a people unto themselves, they are the indigenous people, from what I’ve hear they are unhappy about being given over as they will be a lot worse off under the new government.

[pam]

Everytime he’s asked a question he doesnt actually answer it. That smacks of desperation and arrogance

[agent]

I must be missing something because I still do not understand exactly WHY they seem so determined to do this. I need to go read up more

[Megamundo]

Has the deal been passed through the Houses of Parliament? I don’t recall it.
