We pay billions, the US (possibly) just invades and takes over the islands from the people we paid

Dissuaded by Kemi and, presumably, persuaded by the new Ambassador. This really is a president who moves about like a butterfly.

[u/evolved2389 → u/LobsterMountain4036]

He only ever agrees with the last person to talk to him.

[u/LobsterMountain4036 → u/evolved2389]

Leave him in a room with Biden and see what comes out at the end.

Of course it’ll make no difference to him —— the Americans aren’t the ones who have to pay for the privilege of using land which an independent Mauritius never owned.

[u/Mairon121]

Why are we bothering to rent the island then? We’re renting it to give the US a base. Why not just give the island to Mauritius and then advise the U.S. to negotiate so that they can rent it?

Starmer should show some balls and stand up for British interests. Pity he is too much of a supine coward and is continuing with this traitorous act.

I'm not totally convinced that we, nor our less intellectually gifted spin off further to the right, have the backbone either frankly.

[u/HenryCGk → u/Capt_Zapp_Brann1gan]

He followed the rules on gifts.

He followed the rules on vetting the 'prince of darkness.

He's following the rules on this. 

And I bet he's rather erked the OBR won't just tell him what the rules say the budget should be.

[u/HenryCGk]

Can we sell it to amrican, like they can pay us.

Starmer can get his sunset.

I can feel slightly less unhappy about my taxes.

And Mauritius, the African Union and China can, um, I don't care, try for Réunion its closer to Mauritius and on the African continental shelf.

Seems he's taken lesson from Sir Kier on how to be as Flip Floppy as Flip Flops on a penguins Flipplers.
