Some fella in the State Department is having a terrible day.
In fairness that was a pretty tame and respectful post from him for a change. lol. I ain’t close enough to the detail to form an opinion if he is right or wrong
Didn’t he approve the bloody deal a week or so ago?
Dammit Starmer, are you really going to force people to agree with Trump?
I actually went 3, maybe 4 whole days with seeing something about Trump.
Thanks for nothing u/topotaul
Give away land and then pay billions. Always been a moronic plan and just all negatives for the UK.
Just tell the orange idiot there’s no rare earth materials or kids there. He’ll soon lose interest
Pretty annoying he’s being the voice of reason in this.
The islands belong to the Chagasians who desire to remain British.
I was enjoying the break from trump the past week or so. It seems someone has been keeping him entertained whilst the winter Olympics have been on.
This awful deal needs to be taken out back and finally put down.
From the explanation why the UK is doing this.
In 2019, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) gave an advisory opinion on the UK’s sovereignty over the islands.[^([4])](https://lordslibrary.parliament.uk/uk-mauritius-treaty-on-the-chagos-archipelago/#fn-4) It stated that:
* the process of decolonisation of Mauritius was not lawfully completed when Mauritius was granted independence in 1968
* the UK was “under an obligation to bring to an end its administration of the archipelago as rapidly as possible”
* all UN member states were under an obligation to cooperate with the UN to complete the decolonisation of Mauritius
I agree with Trump. Giving away Diego is treason. And quite frankly will sink any party during the next election. This will be prime material for the right.
Sort your own back yard out before having a pop art ours, twonk.
In a few weeks he’ll be saying it’s great again. Can’t take anything he says seriously. Good job he doesn’t have the most important job in the world or anything….
After previously saying give it away anyone still listening to this paedo needs their head looking at
We aren’t just giving it away, we are paying stupid amounts of money for the privilege.
Idiotic move from Starmer.
Trump changes his rancid mind on Chagos depending on the tenperature of his daily French fries.
I agree with trump
I feel sick
Thankfully him opening his mouth every so often keeps it in the news and makes us aware labour are still trying to get this shit through the backdoor against public sentiment and against and positives for our country whatsoever
The crazy thing is that there are about 16 better options we could take!
– Sell it to the Americans for mucho dinero
– Keep it
– Give it to the Chagossians, free of charge
– Sell it to Mauritius rather than paying them to take it
I mean… how is it possible to make an *even worse* decision than any of the above? I suspect it’s Starmzy doing his very good friend Philippe Sands a favour, but of course I can’t prove it; just the only thing that makes sense to me now, after all the “electromagnetic spectrum” type of bollocks we’ve been subjected to as clarification.
In before: “don’t you understand, if we don’t sell the islands to Mauritius then the Chinese will set up a base there”, lol: the Chinese are going nowhere near it, for good reason – the Americans wouldn’t tolerate it for a second.
We should sign it over to the US and get a free lease on it.
Let the US argue with the UN.
Tomorrow he’ll call it deal of the century for the UK and then take credit for it
I’m so sick of hearing about these islands, we should just give them to France and make it their problem.
So the US State Department and President can’t stay on the same page in the space of 24hrs.
Who gives a toss what the Orange idiot thinks? He’ll change his mind (what little he has left) a dozen times before tomorrow breakfast time. A deal was negotiated (by the tories) that satisfied all concerned, including the US. Let’s stick to it.
Crazy how we need Trump to save us from our own government
His memory is absolutely gone. His State Department gave it the green light yesterday FFS
Someone is definitely whispering in his ear just to be a dick.
Edit: Hang on, didn’t he meet Truss yesterday?
I’ve seen it said this is embarrassing for Starmer. Looks to me more embarrassing for the US who are doing a very good impression of not knowing what the f*** they’re talking about
Didn’t I hear on the radio today that the US approved?
I’ve had enough of Dementia Donny, let’s have that 25th amendment please USA
So if Trump said this 2 hours ago, that gives us about 10 hours until he commends it as an excellent deal; and 22 hours until we revert back to this current position
He has been for it, against it, for it and now against it. Now just ask him to find it on a world map and he will probably point at Hawaii
I’m sick of this stupid shit, with everything else going on at the moment, just fucking get on with it or uturn already.
Is my genetically-probable Alzheimer’s setting in early? I thought the deal had been withdrawn and we weren’t doing it anymore?
“The bill was pulled from the House of Lords schedule in late January 2026 following a backlash, with opponents arguing it breached a 1966 agreement between the US and UK regarding sovereignty, and amid concerns over US support.
Current Status: Despite the initial outcry, as of early February 2026, the US and UK have held talks to confirm continued American support for the deal. However, political, legal, and operational challenges remain, with the bill expected to return to Parliament.”
I say ignore the fool (being ignored, evidently gets to him) because it is all ‘America First” now, right? On that basis he doesn’t give a toss about what may benefit us or not – only what benefits the U.S. If a decision elsewhere irritates him then it is because he is looking through the America First lense, so we should ignore him. He got his knickers in a twist over a handfull of European advisors taking a trip to Greenland for “purposes unknown” and then threatened everyone with high tarrifs for doing it after the moron and his yes men lectured us about stepping up and taking European security more seriously for ourselves. When we did makes moves, he had a hissy fit. Again, everything he says will be through the “America First” filter, and nothing he lectures us on will be in our interest I’m sure.
