They pulled it because they feared it was going to be defeated in the House of Lords. Good. Now scrap it.

Not the best look for the Government, the Conservatives laid an amendment that required consulting the actual Chagossians about the deal before finalizing it. The Government didn’t even want to consider actually speaking to the people most affected by the treaty so they killed its reading.
Probably best for the Government to kick it all into the long grass, cite the long queue of other legislation awaiting HoL votes and forget the entire thing until the next election.

Are we actually going to get to the right outcome (no deal), even if it’s by completely the wrong path (political shens rather than an actual government decision)? I suppose that would be some kind of positive.

my question is how much were the Chagossians actually involved in the original deal?
