"We are being absolutely conned!" Former Nato commander Dr Chris Parry says Starmer's Chagos Islands deal is the biggest giveaway in terms of area of British sovereign territory "since the end of the 100 Years War in 1453." Peter Cardwell

🚨 China essentially owns Mauritius via debt, this scam is the oldest trick in the book. Belt and Road Initiative: Mauritius is part of China’s BRI, with negotiations for a BRI MoU ongoing. Projects like the airport, ports, and highways align with BRI’s focus on infrastructure and connectivity. Economic Impact: Chinese projects have bolstered Mauritius’ infrastructure, tourism, and financial sectors, but critics argue the FTA and loans favor China, potentially creating trade imbalances and dependency. Mauritius’ small market size limits its ability to fully capitalize on the free trade agreement (FTA) and concerns about debt sustainability persist, especially given Mauritius’ high overall debt-to-GDP ratio (77% in 2024)

@petercardwell We are paying France to help invaded our country any boat 🚢 crossing the channel should sent straight back to France now we are giving them fishing rights and being mugged of by the EU starmer should be in jail

@_HenryBolton @petercardwell Only Starmer and Lammy appear to see it as a win win. Why oh why have people like Chris Parry not spoken out before

@smithfreel @petercardwell @UKLabour You’re bankrupting our country 😩

@petercardwell Oh dear. What has stupid Starmer done ?

@DrChrisParry @petercardwell But it’s not “ours” and we have no god given right to take what we want. It’s perfectly reasonable to pay our way. In fact I’d say it’s the right thing to do.

@petercardwell While I don't agree with it and I'm no fan of Starmer or Labour, if the negotiations were started by the Tories and the labour govt is finalising the deal, why suddenly it's all Starmers fault, maybe the uni party is real and they're just 2 cheeks of the same arse

@petercardwell Retired old buffer, bemoans the further decline of the British Empire recommending that we send in the gunboats and court martial and shoot the scoundrel who has committed this act of treason!

@petercardwell Always good to hear @DrChrisParry.

@petercardwell The first thing they did was hang up a communist and have been handing us over to China 🇨🇳 ever since
