Starmer suffers major defeat in court regarding his plans to transfer sovereignty of the Chagos Archipelago from the UK to Mauritius.
The judge of the BIOT Supreme Court (British Indian Ocean Territory) has:
– Has overturned Tony Blair’s law from 2004 that removed the Chagossians’ Right of Abode.
– Calculated that the cost of Starmer’s Chagos surrender will be up to and over £48bn. The government claimed it would only be £3.7 billion
– The judge made it clear that there is no historical authority for a prerogative power to expel or permanently exclude a population of British subjects from the territory to which their citizenship belongs.
– The Judge quashed the Governnent’s removal orders against the 4 Chagossians who recently returned to Chagos to stop the transfer to Mauritius.
