      You mean giving away territory *and* paying for it is an unpopular policy? Colour me surprised…

      ‘Toxic backlash’ – it was a shit deal to begin with!

      In reality the new Mauritian Government asked for a way bigger financial contribution than had been agreed in the negotiations with the old Government. The UK Government declined the demand and it appears everyone is back to square one pending new negotiations, which I suspect may be some time in coming.

      Good. It was potentially the most stupid foreign policy initiative we’ve put forward in years. Hopefully they quietly kill it off in a couple years.

      People all just here pretending it was James Cleverly’s great idea to give it back and not a response to official legal judgements from the International Court of Justice and the UN that we’d been breaking the law since 1965 and had to sort ourselves out asap?

      That local council elections knocked some common sense into Labour in this issue didn’t it

      Why even make a deal anyway? What’s wrong with the status quo?

      >Part of the reasoning behind the delay is a reluctance to hand easy ammunition to Nigel Farage, who has frequently campaigned against the deal and called for the UK to sell the islands instead.

      This man is basically already PM with how many u turns he’s caused in the last couple of weeks,

      Some common sense at last. The idea we are paying a country to take back land they have a very weak claim to is laughable. The fact this very same country is debt trapped to China and are building up military installations throughout the area is worrying.

      Call the deal off, walk away and ensure the Chagossians get to decide what they want to be….independent, British protectorate or part of Mauritius.
