Nigel Farage has suggested holding a referendum on the future of the Chagos Islands as he claimed Donald Trump’s team is “appalled” at the UK’s “rotten” deal.
The Reform UK leader put forward the idea of allowing the Chagossian people to decide the future of their homeland as he joined other opposition MPs in raising concerns over the agreement to give up sovereignty of the Indian Ocean archipelago to Mauritius.
New Mauritian prime minister Navin Ramgoolam has asked for an independent review of the “confidential draft agreement agreed so far” while Mr Farage, who has strong ties with President-elect Mr Trump, has highlighted doubts from the Republican camp.
Talk's Mike Graham says: “A problem of the government's own making."
