Top-secret concerns revealed
Behind PM Sir Keir Starmer’s willingness to pay billions to Mauritius for the Chagos Islands lies top-secret national security concerns. He cited international legal rulings that cast doubt on the operation of a critical UK/US military base.
The importance of the military base
Sir Keir emphasized that the military base on Diego Garcia, one of the Chagos Islands, is crucial for national security. He expressed that without legal certainty, the base cannot function as needed, providing an advantage to adversaries.
Response to criticism
Responding to Tory leader Kemi Badenoch’s criticism of the plan as an "immoral surrender," Sir Keir suggested that she may not have all the necessary information. He challenged her understanding of the national security implications and legal uncertainties surrounding the issue.
Accusations and rebuttals
A spokesman for Mrs. Badenoch accused Sir Keir of politicizing national security and called his comments a distraction. However, Mr. Cleverly, who was involved in the negotiations, stated that no deal had been made to hand over the islands.
