Chance after chance to walk away and stick with the status quo, but the Starmer/Lammy/Powell Brains Trust ploughs on.

Lammy is the Foreign Secretary and a known moron. Probably doesn't help that the chief legal adviser to Mauritius on the deal is an old friend of Starmer's either.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Rachel from Accounts is at least a grown up.

Takes advice and will get job done.
Idiot decision on pensioner heating though.

We did hear a lot a few months ago about the grown ups now being in the room.... not so much now.

Looks like Starmer has decided to consult a key stakeholder having already put a deal together, call me old fashioned but stakeholder consultation is usually at the start of the change process?

This whole process was started over 2 years ago by Cleverly at Truss’s behest, the consultation should have started at that point and, given the potential importance of Diego Garcia continued at regular intervals during discussions.

We’ll never know what’s really taken place as it’ll be expert from FOI and wrapped up in secrecy for many years, but I think it’s another example of our governments coming up short again.

An interesting spin-off story is emerging about the role of Keir Starmer's fellow human rights lawyer and pal, Lord Hermer (the man who was given a peerage so he could become Attorney General) in allegedly facilitating asylum in the UK for some Sri Lankans who had washed up on the Chagos islands. He had represented these people in a previous unsuccessful legal case, and the accusation is that he was implicated in a later political decision to reverse that outcome despite having a conflict of interest. Critics say that this is another example of the Starmer "Chumocracy" at work.

The argument over the proposed Chagos Islands deal seems to be hotting up.

Today, The Times published an article containing interview quotes from the minister for overseas territories, Stephen Doughty, setting out a rationale for the deal on national security grounds. His main new claim was that no deal would allow China to open a base in the Chagos region by doing its own deal with Mauritius.

https://www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/article/chagos-islands-deal-mauritius-steph

This was rubbished by Lord Dannatt, former chief of the army general staff, on Times Radio later this morning. Elsewhere, a former Attorney General suggested that Government reasoning was so irrational that ministers risked a judicial review action to halt the transfer of sovereignty.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/02/12/starmers-chagos-islands-deal-cou

Others pointed out that the comparatively obscure UN maritime law tribunal that offered the majority advisory judgement included an opinion from a Chinese judge who is a former communist party official and previously voted against an ICJ ruling that Russia should pause its "special military operation”.

Probably it will be the Donald who has the final say. Some observers are puzzled about why he has stayed silent as long as he has.

And it looks like there may have been corruption around the edges of the proposed deal that is now coming to light. Did Lord Hermer know about this?
