EXCLUSIVE: Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle is under pressure to call an emergency debate on Monday on Labour's surrender of the Chagos Islands after Nigel Farage's complaint.
Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle is under pressure to call an emergency debate on Monday on Labour 's surrender of the Chagos Islands after Nigel Farage complained that the 'damaging capitulation' occurred while MPs were away from Westminster.
Argentina's foreign minister Diana Mondino said of the Chagos deal: 'We welcome this step in the right direction and the end to outdated practices. With concrete actions and not empty rhetoric, we will recover full sovereignty of Las Malvinas.' The Reform leader will also submit an Urgent Question on Monday concerning the protection of British sovereignty around the world.
The Pentagon argued thatBeijing was looking for a similar military foothold in the region and is even possibly eyeing Diego Garcia. Under last week's deal,the UK will ensure operation of the military base for 'an initial period' of 99 years. A diplomatic source said: 'This was all rushed through shamelessly because Lammy was worried that if Trump wins he will throw a spanner in the works. This is not good for our relations with the Republicans.'
