Whim of iron, ferking unreal…. Starmer pulls Chagos bill after Trump backlash Plans to hand islands to Mauritius ‘cannot progress’ amid concerns over 1966 treaty between UK and US Sir Keir Starmer has been forced to pull his Chagos Islands bill in the wake of a US backlash over the deal. The legislation was expected to be debated in the House of Lords on Monday, but was delayed on Friday night after the Conservatives warned it could violate a 60-year-old treaty with the US that enshrines British sovereignty over the archipelago. Donald Trump turned against the Chagos deal earlier this week, saying that Britain’s plan to hand the Indian Ocean territory to Mauritius was “an act of great stupidity”.
