What is this about ?
"The return of the Chagossians to the islands came in an expedition funded by Reform’s biggest donor, Christopher Harborne and led by former Tory MP and Reform defector Adam Holloway.
But in his ruling, Justice Lewis appears to be critical of Nigel Farage and others from Reform, specifically stating that they do not have the right to go to the islands. Mr Farage had tried to join the four Chagossians last month."
It appears Reform are not acting in UK interest and just want to create problems for the deal . Is my interpretation correct.? |  |

Questions are being asked about Farage’s financial declarations regarding this trip. The private jet used is linked to a Reform based crypto trader. Farage has registered the trip as being worth £11,500 but the value has subsequently been increased to £25,000.
It appears chartering a similar private jet costs about £11,000 per hour, factor in that the total round trip comprised 3 or 4 flights totalling somewhere between 12 to 15 hours and that £25,000 quickly goes up to around a quarter of a million pounds. That’s a lot of money for a publicity stunt. |  | | |

As I predicted, the multiple problems with the Chagos deal, especially the complication of the existing UK-US Treaty, have led the Govt to delay the necessary legislation going ahead. They hope to revive it but there must now be big doubts about whether this is possible,.

"Sir Keir Starmer has been forced to drop legislation that would cede sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius in a further deterioration of relations with President Trump.
The Times has been told that a bill underpinning the deal will not be included in the King’s Speech next month after the US president branded it an “act of great stupidity” and withdrew his support.
The government stands by the deal and will attempt to persuade Trump to change his mind but has acknowledged that it cannot proceed without his backing."
My own take is that this shows the failure of the hyper-legalistic approach to public policy we see when Starmer, Hermer, Powell et al encourage pals like Philippe Sands to cook up deals with countries like Mauritius that (quite naturally) see the prospect of windfall payouts from the UK. Will slavery reparations be the next big money-spinner for Sands and his mates at 11 King's Bench Walk and Matrix Chambers? [Post edited 11 Apr 7:35]

Can't believe I'm saying this, but Trump has more common sense over this clown of a PM we've got, if we had a PM worth his salt this situation wouldn't be a discussion point.
Starmer's objective is trying to appease other powerful leaders in the hope of him being seen in a greater light, Starmer is all about himself and building a career in Europe.
Man's a charlatan. |  | | |
