Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has launched a fierce attack on Prime Minister Keir Starmer as the row over the Chagos Islands explodes.
Farage accused Starmer of risking Britain’s vital defence relationship with the United States after reports that the UK refused permission for President Donald Trump to use British-controlled bases — including Diego Garcia and RAF Fairford — for potential strikes on Iran.
At the centre of the controversy is the proposed deal to transfer sovereignty of the islands to Mauritius while leasing back the strategic military base. Trump has reportedly warned the agreement is “a big mistake,” while Starmer’s government cites international law concerns.
Is this a diplomatic standoff — or a full-blown crisis for UK-US defence ties?
