Priti Patel, Shadow Foreign Secretary, slammed the Labour government's Chagos Islands deal in a recent interview with GB News. She described the deal as an 'absolute stain' on Britain, citing the lack of transparency regarding its cost, which is speculated to be in the billions of pounds. Patel emphasized the deal's impact on British sovereignty and democracy, highlighting the government's failure to disclose the total cost to taxpayers. "This absolutely will define this rotten Labour government," Patel stated, expressing her frustration with the lack of accountability.
