Starmer and Hermer betrayal of Britain

Richard Holden Conservative MP for Basildon and Billericay chastised Powell for surrendering British territory at a price tag of 18 billion pounds. Leader of the House of Commons representing Labour, Lucy Powell was annihilated by Holden on Political Live scrapping and squabbling. A flustered Powell could not conjure up a figure , she simply did not have a clue, saying repeatedly complete “nonsense”. Like a stylus on a gramophone record stuck on repeat “It’s good for the national interest". Powell snapped, "Don't talk over me, it's not a good look"— only to then talk over Holden herself. The subject matter the Chagos Islands over the proposed lease of 18 billion pounds. Starmer has negotiated with Mauritius. Without doubt Holden landed several killer blows coming out on top in this entertaining verbal sparring brawl landing a killer blow “No it’s not, it's good for China's national interest." Check Mate. Politics can be boring but bring it on - more engaging squabbles like this. Robert Jenrick Conservative MP for Newark described the agreement as potentially "The worst deal in history" and accused it of being "nothing short of traitorous." Diego Garica was discovered by Portuguese explorers in the sixteenth century. Under the Treaty of Paris of 1814, the majority of the islands in the Indian Ocean then controlled by the French were transferred to Britain, which included Mauritius and the Chagos Islands. In 1965, going forward the islands became the British Indian Ocean Territory. A decision to establish the U.S. Navy Support Facility based on the 1966 Exchange of Notes between Great Britain and the United States. In January 1971, U.S. Navy Seabees began building the U.S. military presence on Diego Garcia. Today Diego Garcia has 15 separate commands, including the U.S. Navy Support Facility as the host command. It is now a secretive, strategically vital US military base. Strategically of major importance not only for the US, but the safety of the west and the wider democratic world. In times of war and global conflict the USA is able to project its military strength northwest into the Middle East and South Asia, east into Asia, or west into Africa. Diego Garcia is of strategic importance and the ideal command centre for military action by the USA for US military operations in the Middle East. A base for Air Force attacks in 1991 during the first Gulf War and a launchpad for long-range B52 bombers which embarked on missions to Afghanistan in 2001, attacking Taliban and Al Qaeda positions in the country's mountains. The base is also important as a refueling point for the US Navy and Air Force headed to the South China Sea. The deep port is able to accommodate aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines. Only US military personnel allowed access to Diego Garcia. No journalist has visited. The UN court ruled it was illegal for the British to demand possession of the islands as a condition of independence. In view of this ruling the UK leased Diego Garcia to the US. The United Nations has now served an eviction notice to the UK. The ruling is not enforceable, but it inflicts moral pressure and the future of the base creating a cloud of legal red tape. Donald Trump has not publicly commented on the Chagos Islands deal. However, there are indications from his allies he might oppose the agreement. Sources close to President Trump have intimated concerns about the deal potentially boosting China's influence in the region, and there are reports indicating Trump's team might challenge or veto the deal. Deal or no deal that is the dilemma. Trump will decide, Sir Keir, l am afraid is a staunch lefty and a moral obligation to follow the UN ruling, sad but true. Lord Hermer is the Attorney General. Hermer and Starmer worked together as human rights Lawyers. Lord Hermer is the architect of handing over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius. He has an ever expanding reputation for a blocker, slowing forthcoming legislation and as been nicknamed the 'Herminator'. Labour's Lord Glasman said last week of Hermer: "He's got to go. He is the absolute archetype of an arrogant, progressive fool who thinks the law is a replacement for politics." Bring on a leader who has guts and conviction with an ism after his name because Sir Keir has no ism in him. He is a feather in the wind. Where he blows nobody knows even Morgan McSweeney the architect of Starmer’s ambitions is unaware.
