Keir Starmer’s Secret Plot to Tear Britain Apart Exposed!
Sir Keir Starmer has sparked outrage after his government pushed through a deeply controversial deal to give up British sovereignty over the Chagos Islands. For decades, the archipelago located in the Indian Ocean has been a key strategic site, with the island of Diego Garcia hosting one of the most important military bases shared by the UK and the US.
Until now, Britain had full control of the territory and was essentially using the base for free. But under this new arrangement, the UK will not only hand the islands over to Mauritius a country over 2,000 miles away with limited capacity to govern or protect the area but will also start paying a staggering £120 million a year to rent it back, alongside a one-off £1.125 billion in so-called development support, reported the Express.
Critics are calling it nothing short of a sellout. What’s made the deal even more infuriating for many is the way it’s been presented. When the handover was announced on 22 May, Starmer claimed it was opposed by the likes of China, Russia and Iran, a thinly veiled jab at anyone daring to question the move. But that story quickly unraveled.
In fact, China has openly celebrated the deal. The Mauritian government thanked Beijing for its “unwavering support,” and Chinese diplomats were full of praise, calling it a “historic achievement.” China even backed Mauritius in a 2018 submission to the International Court of Justice, fully supporting its claim over Chagos in the name of decolonisation.
So while Starmer painted opponents of the deal as being in bed with China, the reality is that Beijing got exactly what it wanted. Not only did the Prime Minister’s argument not hold up — it appears the exact opposite is true. The country he claimed we were resisting has actually been pushing for this handover all along.
This move is being seen by many as a serious blow to Britain’s global presence. The Chagos Islands aren’t just a few dots on the map they’re central to Western influence in the Indo-Pacific, especially at a time when China is expanding its reach across the region. Handing them over without a real fight raises serious questions about the UK’s willingness to protect its own strategic interests.
And it’s not just geopolitical experts raising concerns. Many of the Chagossian people themselves, those directly connected to the islands, have voiced a desire to remain under British sovereignty. Their views appear to have been sidelined entirely.
There are now growing fears this could open the floodgates. If Britain is ready to part ways with the Chagos Islands under pressure, what’s stopping Spain from pushing harder on Gibraltar, or Argentina from reigniting its claim to the Falklands?
Starmer’s deal has been described as a national humiliation. A message to the world that Britain is no longer interested in standing firm, even when its own citizens and allies are involved. The cost — potentially over £30 billion when all is said and done adds insult to injury.
For that, we’re essentially renting back a base we built on land we owned, while calling it progress. It’s no wonder critics say the whole thing feels more like capitulation than diplomacy.
