Our Parliamentary Champions will continue to advocate that the Chagos Islands remain British at all levels. Delighted to see one of our CFOT Champions, Lord Callanan (@MartinCallanan) raise the excellent new @Policy_Exchange report by @yuanyi_z and others. šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§šŸ‡®šŸ‡“

It’s time that the UN’s Decolonisation Committee that met today (membership incl such bastions of democracy as Russia, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Cuba, Venezuela, China) recognised the rights of the peoples of Gibraltar, Falklands and all other self-governing OTs to decide their own fate.

Tomorrow the UN’s Committee on Decolonisation, members who include Venezuela and Russia, meet to discuss the Falklands. We stand 100% with the Falkland Islanders to decide their own destiny without interference from others @FalklandsRepUK @FIAssembly @FalklandsGov @FalklandsinUK.

Falkland Islanders – Michael, Emmaleigh and Nick – are at the @UN to advocate for their right of self-determination. In 2013, 99.8% of Falkland Islanders voted to remain British. Their choice should be respected. The UK will always defend their right to decide their destiny.

We will be scrutinising the terms of any deal that Labour agrees - it needs to work for both the people of Gibraltar and the UK without surrendering sovereignty #Britishfamily #Overseasterritories.

With the Chagos surrender treaty likely before Parliament this week, we are setting out how Parliament could seek to delay/stop it. Whilst Parliament cannot amend a treaty, transferring an Overseas Territory requires primary legislation plus a money resolution. Game on #Chagos

Ā£30 billion to surrender and lease back our UK territory. How many teachers, nurses and doctors could have been paid for. This is an abject, costly and humiliating move by Labour that voters will not forgive them for. A future government should reverse
