Labour has completely ignored this community from the get-go, and failed to consult with them at every step of the way Dame Priti Patel, shadow foreign secretary

She doesn’t care about the Chagossians, she just wants the UK to keep sovereignty over the islands.

Honestly though, I’m completely confused by this whole thing. Some Chagossians are settled in the UK now and some live in Mauritius. They do seem to be excluded from this negotiation though and I wonder what the point is. If the Chagossians aren’t going to be properly represented by Mauritius either then what’s the point in transferring sovereignty to Mauritius.

Mauritius, UK and US are all complicit in this bullshit.
