Sir Keir Starmer has been forced into a dramatic U-turn over his Chagos Islands bill following furious backlash from Donald Trump.
The legislation, to hand sovereignty of the islands to Mauritius, was set to be debated in the House of Lords on Monday, but it was delayed on Friday after the Conservatives warned that the deal could violate a 1966 treaty with the US. The Tories tabled a motion in the House of Lords on Friday morning to delay any ratification of the treaty, so they could conclude discussions and avoid breaching international law.
