[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

If Keir Starmer’s Chagos surrender now finds its rightful place - on the ash heap of history - it will be because Conservatives led the fight against it from day one.

That it took so long is another damning indictment of a prime minister, who fought to hand over British sovereign territory and pay £35 billion to use a crucial military base which was already ours.

Unlike Labour, we will always put our country first. We are the only party who can be trusted to stand up for Britain’s interests abroad.
