James Cleverly slammed for ‘stupidly’ sparking talks on Chagos Islands by Dame Andrea Jenkyns

Sir Keir Starmer has been slammed for surrendering the British-owned Chagos Islands to Mauritius after 200 years, with the decision branded “ridiculous” by Dame Andrea Jenkyns.

The Prime Minister announced today that the British-owned territory will be handed back after a loss of support for the UK’s claim by international communities, and a unanimous vote defeat in the United Nations.
