Labour — Calder Valley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 22 May 2025

Debate

Diego Garcia Military Base

Contribution

I do not share the right hon. Member’s passion. Similarly, the Leader of the Opposition first tweeted about the Chagos islands in October 2024. That was five years after the ICJ ruling and two years after negotiations started. Does my right hon. Friend agree that the Conservatives’ new-found passion for the Chagos islands perhaps owes more to political opportunism than to any deeply held conviction?
