    The Chagos deal was going to be Starmer’s favour to Trump. The UK was going to pay to keep using it, just to host the US base there. It was essentially another conservative mess for Labour to clean up, and another example of Trump having a strop about something that he had previously been in favour of. I say go ahead and pull it: this is the perfect opportunity to have another bill and keep the US out of this one.

      I have a suspicion trump hates this entirely because it was planned by biden originally.

      He being mad about free land makes even less sense than he usually does.
