Keir Starmer has handed over the strategically important British overseas territory the Chagos Islands - where the military base on Diego Garcia is - to Mauritius. The controversial agreement will cost the taxpayer hundreds of millions of pounds and will see the UK paying Mauritius until as late as 2164.

It means that for the first time in more than 200 years, the sun will finally set on the British Empire. The location of the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean meant that at any point of the day, at least part of Britain or its territories would be in daylight. When the islands are finally handed over, this will no longer be true.

Starmer has also evaded questions about whether the Falklands and Gibraltar are next.

Doubts grow over Labour’s VAT plan for private schools - confusion over 1 January start date as unions, tax experts and school leaders say it is unworkable

https://www.theguardian.com/education/2 ... te-schools

The Treasury on Saturday night refused to confirm that the plan to impose 20% VAT on private school fees would go ahead from 1 January, as confirmed by the chancellor, Rachel Reeves, in July, instead saying it would be introduced “as soon as possible”. Later, however, after publication of this story, the Treasury changed its line and said it was planning to stick by the 1 January deadline.

Was it you Donut, who was gloating after the last election saying that there would be another 8-12 years more of the Tories?

Shambles

Let’s not forget this was started by the last government

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Properly weird flex for people who voted Tory last time, then again (or reform) to call all these minor blips a “shambles”.

[Proposition Joe]

By absolutely zero means am I Team Starmer but wasn't it James Cleverly, the Tory Foreign Secretary who set the final steps over the return of Chagos in motion?

What if you’ve voted Lib Dem for the last three elections? Are you then allowed to point out poor management/decisions in government?

You’re allowed. But your friend has clearly shown that they aren’t a very good of politics so should stay out of it

Minor blips.

Utter shambles. No getting away from it. One thing after another, dropping like a stone in the polls and so quickly. Worst performance by an election winning PM ever. More unpopular than Sunak. Minor blip. Best joke ever, after Starmer that is.

Former foreign secretary James Cleverly described the move as "weak, weak, weak"

So no, I can't see how it would have anything to do with him.

You should be directing that question to Starmer and his bunch of hypocrites. Me? I’m fine thanks for asking, it’s the country that’s in the crap.

Agreed. That’s what 14 years of the Tories does for a Country.
