    1. Let’s face it blue or red MPs always have some creative accountancy

      True cost is apparently £35bn (for comparison, the new ‘black hole, prepare for big tax rises’ figure is £50bn).

      Jesus Christ.

      Why must we pay for the pleasure? It’s crazy that after they will talk about gutting benefits and assistance, they will *pay* to weaken us on the world stage.

      There genuinely must be a bigger play here, because on its face the deal is insane and harmful.

      £35b for Starmer to look like a top chap to the UN and his other posh fellow legal professionals. What a bargain.

      I still cannot fathom why we are doing this. Why is this the right thing to do?

      Just why , give the remaining chaos islanders a couple of million each who were removed from the islands let them live on some of the other islands if they want and keep the islands as UK oversea territory the majority of the orginal islanders I’m sure would prefer that than the deal with a country 2000 miles away who are just gonna glee fully blow the money .

      Of course the Torygraph will continue to bring this up, but it *is* a ridiculous deal and we should never have given away sovereign territory, never mind having to pay for the privilege.

      Especially when it’s a strategic location and the country we’re giving it away to is borderline hostile.

      And yes I know, technically we are just giving it away and then paying for the base we have there, but it’s effectively the same thing.

      Hey look we found the black hole… Or at least most of it…

    9. Imagine doing things like this in an accountancy job. You’d be fired. Possibly even see court time. But no these slippery rats constantly get absolutely no comebacks.

      I think the deal is actually a smart and forward-looking move which finally settles a dispute that has dragged on for decades and strengthens the UK’s strategic position..

      Keeping long-term access to Diego Garcia is vital for defence and intelligence in a key region while also recognising Mauritius’s sovereignty helps fix diplomatic relations.. The financial cost is big but investing in national security and strong international partnerships I’d say is pretty essential for the UK’s future.. Sometimes you do have to pay a price to make real progress..

      I mean why is this starmers fault.

      James Cleverly negotiated and signed this deal and now it’s been on starmer to implement it.

      The tories are acting like they had nothing to do with this and yet they negotiated the entire thing.
