Why were Jonathan Powell, Peter Mandelson and Lord Hermer appointed without vetting? The answer is that Chagos was a deal Starmer couldn't refuse to make. Here's a timeline of the key stages of the Chagos treachery. In 1982, after it became known that the Chagos seabed may contain vast mineral wealth, Mauritius set up a select committee to examine the matter. However, sea-mining technology was in its infancy, and it was too expensive to be commercially viable at that time. In 2003, as underwater mining technologies advanced and the value of minerals and rare earth elements soared, mining the Chagos seabed became an exciting possibility again; Mauritius appointed the eminent international barrister Sir Ian Brownlie as advisor for the Chagos Archipelago. A former member of the Communist Party of Great Britain, Brownlie was a good friend of Sir Satcam Boolell, a former Labour deputy prime minister of Mauritius, and High Commissioner in London. In 2009, Brownlie led the first Mauritius delegation to the Foreign Office in London seeking a Chagos deal. Among the delegation was Sir Satcam Boolell's son Satyajit, who became Mauritius Director of Public Prosecutions the same year. In 2010, after Brownlie died in a motor accident in Egypt, Sir Keir Starmer’s “great mate”, Philippe Sands, a leading human-rights lawyer who has publicly boasted of humiliating the UK in international courts, took over as counsel to Mauritius for Chagos. In 2013, Satyajit Boolell invited Keir Starmer, whom he had become friendly with during Starmer's time as the UK's DPP, to a legal conference at the 5-star Balaclava resort in Mauritius. During the trip, Starmer discussed the future of the Chagos Archipelago with then Mauritius prime minister Navin Ramgoolam. After Starmer’s 2013 visit, Ramgoolam wrote that he and Starmer were aligned over Chagos. In 2015, Ramgoolam was arrested on money-laundering charges when large sums of cash in foreign currencies, suitcases full of brand-new luxury watches, and blank British visas were found in his home. Also in 2015, Starmer was elected to the British Parliament. In 2019, Philippe Sands, after a campaign of lobbying the UN, obtained an International Court of Justice ruling (advisory opinion only, and non-binding) that the Chagos islands should be given to Mauritius. Sands used the ICJ ruling as leverage in the following years in his efforts to persuade the Conservative government to give Chagos to Mauritius. In 2020, Starmer became leader of the Labour Party. In 2021, Sands received Mauritius' top honour, The Most Distinguished Order of the Star and Key of the Indian Ocean. In 2022, Sands made an unauthorized entry into the Chagos Archipelago for a flag-raising ceremony. Sands tweets at the time, “It’s morning on Chagos, where the flag of Mauritius flies." In 2023, Sands became a Mauritius citizen, but retains his British and French citizenships. 🧧In November 2023, David Cameron replaced James Cleverly as Foreign Secretary and, with the support of other senior Tories, stopped a Chagos deal saying, it’s not in the national interest, as reported in Hansard. In July 2024, Starmer became UK Prime Minister and just ten weeks after entering Downing Street, he agreed a deal with Mauritius, despite there having been no mention of Chagos during the election campaign, and the Labour manifesto pledging to protect the BOT. in November of 2024, Ramgoolam was elected Mauritius prime minister again after a snap general election, and took over from the incumbent PM, Pravind Jugnauth, to lead the Chagos negotiations with the UK. In December 2024, after 14 years in the role, Philippe Sands steps down as Mauritius counsel for Chagos. In January 2025, Attorney General Lord Hermer recused himself from signing off on the Chagos deal, and declined to say why. In February 2025, Jugnauth was arrested on money-laundering charges after large sums of cash in foreign currencies and suitcases full of brand-new luxury watches were found in his home. In May 2025, twelve years after discussing the future of Chagos in Mauritius, Starmer and Ramgoolam sat down in London to sign the treaty that transfers the archipelago's sovereignty to Mauritius. The Fall Out. The Chagos deal does🟥NOT secure the joint UK/US military base on Diego Garcia. The deal operationally hobbles the base, and increases the dangers to the British and American military personnel, and the civilians who work there, and in the wider Central Indian Ocean region. Diego Garcia's remoteness made it easy to defend in the past. This deal leaves the base horribly vulnerable to the growing threats posed by the new longer-range missiles, and more sophisticated and lethal drones. When Keir Starmer, Lord Hermer and Vijay Rangarajan, the Director General at the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, made the deal it was fully understood that the outer islands of the Chagos Archipelago were by far the best locations to deploy early warning, and air-defense systems, to protect the main base from missile and drone attacks. Yet they still decided to lease only Diego Garcia. Andy Burnham, Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband, and Defense Minister Wes Streeting, know the deal increases the dangers to the lives of British service personnel, and our NATO allies personnel, in the strategically important Central Indian Ocean region. To double down and push the deal with that knowledge is a shameful act of betrayal. While the deal leaves Diego Garcia vulnerable to attack, it also renders the base itself ineffective and operationally hobbled. Mauritius is a signatory of the Pelindaba African Weapon-Free Zone Treaty which bans all nuclear weapons from treaty members' territory. Pelindaba gives each of the more the 40 countries who have signed it the right to inspect the facilities on Diego Garcia if they suspect nuclear arms are being stored there. The UK's nuclear-armed Trident submarines will no longer be able to enter Chagos waters, or visit Diego Garcia which is the only island in the region which has suitable anchorage and facilities for maintenance and restocking provisions, etc. The US's nuclear-armed submarines, ships, and planes will also be banned from Diego Garcia and the Chagos Archipelago's waters. Mauritius gets complete sovereignty over everything, including control of the airspace above the Chagos Archipelago, which at 250,000 square miles is the same size as France. The implications of controlling such a vast area of airspace in a strategically vital region are huge. Mauritius has shown it will ban planes entering its current airspace when China asks. The Chagos Deal does not ‘secure the base’. It methodically destroys every element required for operations. The text and annexes state it will: ❌Constrain future Ops and use of the base ❌Prevent the placing of sensors and other maritime installations ❌Require us to sight our foes on defence planning ❌Mean we’re unable to use our preferred contractors ❌See us lose of control over electromagnetic spectrum.

2/ Brazil isn’t 1964. Its army declined to act in 2022–23, and the plotters, generals included, were tried and convicted. Try to isolate Brasília and you lose Latin America’s largest country for nothing. Stick to the topics where you’ve clearly put in the hours. Brazil isn’t one of them. @curtis_yarvin

The Left has arrived at the consensus that competing against them in elections is 'subverting democracy.'

There is nothing socialist about a system of free movement that is used by multi-nationals to undermine wages. WATCH my Brexit speech today.

Crazy how the British had Agincourt, Shakespeare, Wateroo, Trafalgar, Milton, Tolkien, and the largest empire in history and just decided to burn it all down for literally no reason.

Do you not think a pensioner has paid enough tax in their working lifetime

I don’t believe that anyone is actually “smarter” than anyone else. I think that everything on an IQ test is a skill that can be honed.

“Integration”, as imagined by our ruling class, is a myth. You cannot “become” English. Possession of citizenship and belief in "our values" does not make you part of our nation. Membership is inherited, not chosen or acquired. The only way to join a nation outside of birthright - as with a family - is through marriage. Anything less is an administrative fiction. Under a Restore Britain government, the law will reflect this reality.

I'm shocked that The Economist was willing to publish this!

I had only one boyfriend before I went to college, and while in college I met this man, he was almost 6 years older than me. He was funny, charming, and I liked him right away. I was very innocent, I had no idea of the ins and outs of the dating world. I had never dated. In high school I met a boy in my class and the rest just followed, no games, no second guessing, no nonsense. This time I was in for the shock of my life. We clearly liked each other and spend time together, he would tell me the sweetest of things about how special I was, how it made his day to see me… but he never made me his girlfriend. I was stuck on this man the entire 4 years I spend in college. I didn’t date anyone else, I didn’t like anyone else. I didn’t seek anyone else. Because I could not get over this man. Now looking back and writing this, it is painful to see how stupid I was. I just remember being so utterly confused. We liked each other, we really enjoyed spending time and doing things together what the heck else did this man need or want??? I was asking all the wrong questions, clearly, he didn’t want anything else because he was getting exactly all that he wanted without having to do anything that I wanted, and needed. Women now spend years stuck on men like these. He might officially call you his girlfriend but he will never marry you, he will never fully commit. Women will spend 5,6,7… years waiting around just like I did, for nothing to come out of it. He didn’t want anything more, because he already had everything he wanted. And so who cared about what I wanted? He never had to offer me security or commitment to get all that he wanted, so why would he? He wasn’t confused. I was. The world is filled with men like these. Greedy enough to consume all of the land to get what they want, never willing to take a stand, never willing to get any skin in the game. They will waste your time, and they will have no moral qualms about it. A man serious about you will never, and I seriously mean, never play these games about you, and that is because he will care about you, and not just about himself. And a man that cares about you does not waste your time, your youth, your virtues and your heart. Ambiguity is not romance. And it certainly is not love.
