Mauritius gets everything in Starmer's treacherous deal, including all the minerals, and hydrocarbons, which could be worth trillions, in the Chagos maritime zone's seabed, which at 250,000 square miles, is equivalent to an area the size of France. Mauritius, which in April this year revoked permission for the prime minister of Taiwan's plane to enter its airspace on its way to Africa, at the behest of China, also gets full control of the France-sized airspace above Chagos. Mauritius must be informed of all the military operations, all the vessels, and all the submarines, nuclear, and non-nuclear, visiting the Diego Garcia base in Chagos. All nuclear weapons will be banned from Chagos by the Pelindaba African Weapon-Free Zone Treaty, which Mauritius is a signatory of. Starmer's deal only leases Diego Garcia, when other islands, such as Peros Banos in the Chagos Archipelago, will be needed in future to deploy assets on to defend the Diego Garcia base from the increasing threat of missile and drone attacks. The deal was stitched together by three long-time good friends, Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his Attorney General Lord Hermer, acting for the UK, and Philippe Sands acting for Mauritius. What exceedingly good fortune it was for the three old legal-eagle buddies to be able to work together on arranging to give the 250,000 square mile Chagos Archipelago, and all its mineral wealth, which could be HUGE, and control of the France-size airspace above the EEZ to Mauritius, never mind the UK taxpayer being on the hook for billions to lease back Diego Garcia.

Mandelson is being thrown under the 🚐to cause a media feeding frenzy while the real baddies sneak away into the night. Mandelson with his laundry list (which includes his trousers) of scandals, and his involvements with Jeffrey Epstein, is the perfect patsy. Why did Starmer take the huge gamble of sending the unvetted serial dodgy-dealing Lord Peter Mandelson to Washington? For the same reason he hired Jonathan "Dodgy Dossier" Powell, and why he parachuted his unelected old-friend and mentor, Richard Hermer, into the Attorney General's job via a peerage. That reason, of course, was so they could work on his Dodgy Chagos Deal. Jonathan Powell, a regular visitor to China, was working as Starmer's Chagos bagman at least three months before he was appointed National Security Advisor. Yet, unbelievably, Powell had not undergone developed vetting when he was officially appointed NSA on November 8th 2024. Starmer has refused to reveal when Powell started working on Chagos, and what, if any, security clearance he held at that time. Powell used his private company email extensively for Chagos business, and was working as Special Envoy for at least five weeks before he was officially appointed to the role. Changing the sovereignty of Chagos has huge national and international security ramifications. It's not a few tiny islands where no one goes, as Powell told Times Radio in October 2024. Chagos covers an area of 250,000 square miles (the size of France) in the middle of the Indian Ocean, and Mauritius gets complete sovereignty over everything, including the airspace. Last month at China's request, Mauritius revoked permission for the president of Taiwan's plane to enter Mauritius airspace on its way to Africa. Jonathan Powell being given the top job of advising the PM on national security not being vetted and using a private email for changing the sovereignty of Chagos and the US's most vital military base in the vast Indian Ocean, is a massive scandal, but the press is fixated on Mandelson. Lord Richard Hermer would also be under the media microscope but for Mandelson sucking all the air of the room. We still don't know why Hermer recused himself when it came time to sign off on Chagos, and there are serious questions that need to be asked about what vetting, if any, Hermer underwent. Mandelson is the fall guy, and the more they can dirty him up the better, even if they have to accept some collateral damage, it's worth it if it diverts attention from the real story of why Starmer, Hermer, Powell are so keen to get the Chagos deal done, and hand over that huge expanse in the middle of the Indian Ocean to Mauritius, which asks, "How high❓" when China wants it to jump.

MANDELSON: "I am getting very worried about Chagos."

Why is Starmer still defying Parliament by hiding Peter Mandelson's security vetting file? Would releasing it in full bring the whole House of Cards crashing down? We know Jonathan Powell wasn't vetted when he was appointed National Security Advisor on the 8th of November 2024, even though he had been working on Chagos, where the strategically-vital joint UK/US military base on Diego Garcia, is located, since at least the 2nd of August. Changing the sovereignty of Diego Garcia, which is used by the UK's and America's front-line combat aircraft, nuclear-armed, and nuclcear-powered submarines, would automatically carry the highest Top-Secret classification. Would coming clean on Mandelson pull Starmer's Attorney General Lord Hermer into the frame? Democratically elected ministers aren't vetted, but Hermer was not elected. Parliament must ask for full disclosure of what vetting, if any, Hermer was subject to. Hermer, Powell, and Mandelson, all controversial appointments made by Starmer specifically to get his Chagos deal done. If, as seem a distinct possibility, revealing all on Mandelson's case causes an even bigger crisis for Starmer, the demands for Powell's and Hermer's vetting procedures to undergo the same searching scrutiny will be impossible to resist, and the whole rotten house of cards built on Chagos will come tumbling down.

As Lord Hermer has still to explain why he recused himself from signing off on the Chagos deal in early 2025, the question must be asked again, "How did Hermer pass vetting?" Hermer was parachuted into government via the peerage Starmer gave him so he could be his Attorney General. Hermer is a political appointment. Therefore, he should have been fully vetted, unlike democratically elected government ministers. instagram.com/p/DXg45HjiK5j/

Keir Starmer has been personally warned – in no uncertain terms – that his brutal inheritance tax raid on British farmers would drive some to suicide. The devastating policy, which hits family farms with eye-watering bills on land and assets passed down through generations, was flagged directly to him as a guaranteed path to despair and death in the countryside. His response? Cold, calculated, and delivered in that slick lawyerly tone we’ve all come to expect: he simply did not care. This wasn’t hearsay or exaggeration. It was a direct confrontation with the human cost of his government’s war on rural Britain, and Starmer shrugged it off like it was just another inconvenient statistic. Subhuman indifference from a man who claims to lead the country with “compassion.” Farmers – the backbone of our food security, our landscapes, our self-sufficiency – are being treated as cash cows for the Treasury while their livelihoods are destroyed and their mental health ignored. And here’s the truth the Westminster bubble hates: the seething contempt ordinary people feel for Starmer isn’t manufactured by the media. It’s not some tabloid conspiracy or far-right narrative. It’s a perfect mirror image of the contempt Starmer himself holds for the British public. He views hardworking farmers, families, and communities as nothing more than revenue sources to fund his failing promises and bloated state machine. No empathy, no understanding, no respect for the people who actually keep the nation fed. This is the same Starmer who lectures us about fairness while hammering the very people who produce our food. The same leader whose government prioritises net zero targets and migrant hotels over saving family farms from bankruptcy. The mask has slipped completely. Britain’s farmers are in crisis, and the man at the top has made it crystal clear: your suffering doesn’t register. The public isn’t fooled. This level of cold-hearted arrogance is why trust in Labour is collapsing faster than their economic forecasts. Enough is enough. Farmers deserve better. Britain deserves better than a Prime Minister who looks at potential suicides and says he doesn’t care. 🇬🇧
