"An Act Of SELF-HARM!" | Tory Leadership Candidate Jenrick BLASTS Starmer Giving Away Chagos Islands

Britain is giving up sovereignty of a remote group of islands in return for securing the long-term future of a strategically important military base.

The UK Government said it has reached a political agreement with Mauritius over the Chagos Islands, also known as the British Indian Ocean Territory, following negotiations which began in 2022.

Mauritius will assume sovereignty over the Indian Ocean archipelago while the joint US-UK military base remains on Diego Garcia, the largest of the islands.

The Foreign Office said the agreement means the status of the base will be undisputed and legally secure.

Tory leadership frontrunner Robert Jenrick slams Keir Starmer's decision to give the Chagos Islands away as "an act of self-harm" and says it "reflects badly".

"It's always other people's interests first over the British people... it's being handed to an ally of China!"
