Sir Keir Starmer’s controversial plan to hand over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius is now facing a major legal challenge. A campaign group, Save the Chagos, backed by Conservative peers, has taken the first step in trying to block the deal by issuing a legal letter to the Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office (FCDO).
The group is pushing for a judicial review, which, if successful, could completely overturn the decision to cede the British Indian Ocean Territory. Among those supporting the legal fight are former Cabinet minister Lord Lilley, Boris Johnson’s former adviser Lord Kempsell, and historian Lord Roberts of Belgravia, reported the Express.
