STARMER and LABOUR treat us with complete disdain! #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Starmer #Labour #RachelReeves #China #illegalmigration #pubs The dictionary definition of DISDAIN is a feeling of contempt for someone or something regarded as unworthy or inferior : scorn. Well that sums up LABOUR and STARMER'S attitude to the majority of working class Brits doesn't it? Consider their attitude to the following: Flag controversies Ignore our concerns about mass uncontrolled illegal migration Make us wait for weeks for pub deal and its a damp squib and Rachel Reeeves didn't even present it in Commons today, she sent along a sixth form work experience boy! What a coincidence that Starmer has gone to China on this day? Putting our war heroes from Northern Ireland in court Diversity for all except white working class Ed Miliband green cobblers is like a church curate he knows what is best for us Chagos give away-don't get me started. Andy Burnham not being allowed to stand as an MP to save Starmer's neck. Using our cash to fight for human rights of flip flop warriors Do I need to go on?! As I say DISDAIN is a feeling of contempt for someone or something regarded as unworthy or inferior. They simply don't care what we think or say. Maybe a General Strike is only way to make them listen? #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Starmer #Labour #RachelReeves #China #illegalmigration #pubs JonGaunt, JonGauntTV, Starmer, Labour, RachelReeves, China, illegalmigration, pubs, This is political blogging and hard-hitting social commentary from Triple Sony Gold Award-winning talk radio legend, Jon Gaunt — former host on BBC, Talk Radio, and Sky News.

Cleo Paskal Paskal discusses the geopolitical and legal complications regarding the transfer of the Chagos Islands (which include Diego Garcia) from the UK to Mauritius. She highlights a critical oversight: a 1966 agreement between the US and the UK mandates that sovereignty over the Chagos archipelago must remain British for 50 years plus an additional 20 years, meaning the territory should legally remain British until 2036. Paskal notes that Washington has recently "woken up" to the dangers of the transfer—which President Trump has labeled as "stupid"—largely due to concerns regarding the heavy influence of the Chinese Communist Party in Mauritius.1939 guam

Bloomberg reports that both banks are mulling offering cards with a 10% rate cap as one potential solution. Earlier this week, Trump said he would ask Congress to implement the proposal, giving the financial firms more clarity about what exact path he's pursuing. Bank executives have repeatedly decried the uniform cap, saying it'll cause lenders to have to pull credit lines for consumers.

If those dependencies are severed, if each country has the ability to feed, produce and innovate independently, then the entire dependency model around globalism collapses. Within the globalism model that was historically created there was a group of people, western nations, banks, finance and various government leaders, who controlled the organization and rules of the trade dependencies. The action being taken for self-sufficiency, in combination with the approach promoted by President Trump that each nation state should generate their own needs, then the rules-based order that has existed for global trade will collapse. If nations are no longer dependent, they become sovereign – able to exist without the need for support from other nations and systems. If nations are indeed sovereign, then globalism is no longer needed and a threat of the unknown rises. How will nations engage with each other if there is no governing body of western elites to make the rules for engagement? The need for control is a reaction to fear, and it is the fear of self-reliance that permeates the elitist class within the control structures. If each nation of the world is operating according to its individual best interests, the position of Donald Trump, then what happens to the governing elite who set up the system of interdependencies. This is the core of their fear. If each nation can suddenly grow tea, what happens to the East India Tea Company. Who then sets the price for the tea, and worse still an entire distribution system (ships, ports, exchanges, banks, etc.) becomes functionally obsolescent.

Conservative journalist Kaitlin Bennett revealed this week that she was charged with a federal crime and fined by the National Park Service in St. Augustine for the so-called offense of asking Democrats questions on public property. According to Bennett, federal agents targeted her while she was conducting on-the-street interviews, a form of journalism protected by the First Amendment. Despite being on public land, Bennett says she was cited and punished simply for engaging in political speech that the Left finds inconvenient. Bennett addressed the incident directly in a post on X, writing: https://twitter.com/KaitMarieox/status/2014174254799958148?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2014174254799958148%7Ctwgr%5Ef4a6650cd0c60d38edfea018c5665c2cc2fe5199%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Ftwo-tier-justice-conservative-journalist-kaitlin-bennett-charged%2F When asked by another local journalist exactly what “lawful order” Bennett had disobeyed, the ranger reportedly could not provide a straight answer.

A moment between the two went viral when Kasky casually declared that President Donald Trump had been involved in an international sex trafficking ring. Jennings wasn't going to let that remark go unchallenged by host John Berman. The topic of conversation had been Trump's interest in Greenland and the Nobel Peace Prize, but Kasky threw in a jab at Trump with an allusion to the president's relationship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — an allusion Kasky's now trying to walk back. “I would love it if he was more transparent about the human sex trafficking network that he was a part of, but you can't win 'em all,” he blurted out. https://twitter.com/overton_news/status/2013455047288377517?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2013455047288377517%7Ctwgr%5E20edbbd712c7076d1aafdac2d1e39d7eb8307263%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Fcnn-panelist-issues-retraction-apology-going-far-air%2F Berman asked Jennings a follow-up question about Greenland, but instead of addressing that, Jennings circled back to Kasky's remark. “You're gonna let that sit?” Jennings asked Berman. “Are we going to claim here on CNN that the president is part of a global sex trafficking ring or …?” After assuring Jennings that he would do the fact-checking, Berman asked Kasky to repeat what he'd said about the global sex-trafficking ring. “That Donald Trump was … probably … very involved with it,” the arrogant young man replied, with perhaps a touch less confidence. To Berman's credit, and the CNN legal team's, he immediately said, “Donald Trump has never been charged with any crimes in relation to Jeffrey Epstein.” https://twitter.com/camkasky/status/2013760245298864477?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2013760245298864477%7Ctwgr%5E20edbbd712c7076d1aafdac2d1e39d7eb8307263%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Fcnn-panelist-issues-retraction-apology-going-far-air%2F Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/ElectionWiz/status/2014189561002291385?s=20 DOGE Geopolitical https://twitter.com/brentdsadler/status/2014311942119137584?s=20 important as these agreements cover the entirety of the Chagos group of islands/features.

Negotiated for over 25 years, it aims to create one of the world’s largest free trade zones, covering more than 700 million people and reducing tariffs on goods like cars, machinery, pharmaceuticals, and agricultural products. It includes commitments on sustainability, labor rights, and environmental protections, but critics argue these are insufficient to address issues like Amazon deforestation and unfair competition for European farmers. The agreement was politically finalized in 2019 but faced delays due to environmental concerns and opposition from countries like France and Austria. It was formally signed on January 17, 2026, after EU member states (with a qualified majority, despite opposition from five countries including France) greenlit it on January 9. The Stupidity of Davos Explained Using an Example of Their Own Creation China is manufacturing a product to create a carbon credit certificate in response to the demand for carbon credits from all the world auto-makers. Any nation that has a penalty or fine attached to their climate goals is a customer. Those are nations with fines or quotas associated with the production of gasoline powered engines if the auto company doesn't hit the legislated target for sales of electric vehicles. In essence, EU/AU/CA/RU/ASEAN car companies buy Chinese car company carbon credits, to avoid the EU/AU/CA/RU/ASEAN fines. The Chinese then use the carbon credit revenue to subsidize even lower priced Chinese EVs to the EU/AU/CA/RU/ASEAN car markets, thereby undercutting the EU/AU/CA/RU/ASEAN car companies that also produce EVs. China brilliantly exploits the ridiculous pontificating climate scam and has an interest in perpetuating -even emphasizing- the need for the EU/AU/RU/ASEAN countries to keep pushing their climate agenda. China even goes so far as to fund alarmism research about climate change because they are making money selling carbon credit certificates on the back end of the scam to the western fear mongers. This is friggin' brilliant. The climate change alarmists are helping China's economy by pushing ever escalating fear of climate change. You just cannot make this stuff up. What does the outcome look like? Well, in this example we see hundreds of thousands of unsold BYDs piling up in countries that emphasize climate regulations with no restrictions on the import of EVs (which most don't even manufacture), which is almost every country. Big Panda doesn't care about the car itself; they care about generating the carbon credit certificate to sell in the various carbon exchanges. Put this context to the recent announcement by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney about his new trade deal with China to accept 49,000 EVs this year. Prime Minister Carney bragged about getting the Chinese to agree to only super low prices for the Canadian market. Mark Carney was very proud of his accomplishment to get much lower priced vehicles for Canadian EV purchasers. No doubt Big Panda left the room laughing as soon as Carney made his grand announcement. 1. China sells EV's in Canada, creating credits available on the carbon exchange scheme. Europe et al will purchase the carbon credits because Bussels has fines against EU car companies. 2. With a foothold already established in Europe, China will then take the money generated by the carbon credit purchases and lower the prices of the Chinese EV cars sold in Canada. It's gets funnier. 3. Carney bragged about forcing China to only sell low price EV's as part of the trade agreement. The low price of the EV's in Canada will be subsidized by Europe. China doesn't pay or lose a dime. But wait…. 4. Carney can't do anything about the scheme he has just enmeshed Canada into, because Canada has a Carbon Credit exchange in law.

Sir Keir Starmer says he will not yield to Donald Trump over the future of Greenland, calling recent criticism of the Chagos deal an attempt to force the issue -- did this rebuke to Trump spark his best performance yet?Hugo Rifkind unpacks the exchanges from the Commons with Patrick Magurie, Stefan Boscia and Andy Parsons.

The Greenland situation continues to look more theatrical than existential. To me, leaked private messages from Emmanuel Macron, public frustration from Donald Trump, and hurried diplomatic calls ahead of Davos all point to the same conclusion: this is pressure politics playing out in real time. Trump's irritation appears rooted less in Greenland itself and more in confusion over European military commitments and mixed signals from allies. That kind of misunderstanding is combustible, but it is also solvable, especially when everyone involved is about to be in the same conference rooms in Switzerland.Europe's response, though, has been pretty revealing. Ursula von der Leyen's declaration that the “old order is dead” was less a threat than a signal of insecurity. Europe wants leverage, and hinting at closer ties with China is one way to gesture at it. My priors remain that this all de-escalates quietly. The United States and Europe trade too much, rely on each other too deeply, and share too many strategic interests for this to spiral beyond bruised egos and tough talk. The laws of economics tend to win these fights.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Immigration Enforcement and the Internal SplitBack at home, the most interesting fight is not between parties, but within the Trump administration itself. Tom Homan publicly arguing for better messaging around ICE operations is a tell. He understands that enforcement without a moral argument collapses under public scrutiny. His claim that roughly 70 percent of those arrested are criminals is clearly meant to counter the perception that ICE is acting indiscriminately, especially after the fatal shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis.What stands out is who is not making that case. Kristi Noem, who has leaned heavily into the aesthetics of enforcement, has ceded the substance to Homan, and that imbalance matters. When enforcement becomes spectacle, it invites backlash. When it is framed as governance, it can sustain itself politically. The friction between Homan and Noem is, to me, the most important palace intrigue to watch in Trump's second term.Britain, Chagos, and Playing to the FutureSpeaking of our relationship with Europe, Trump's sharp criticism of the United Kingdom over the Chagos Islands is best understood through a political lens, not a strategic one. The deal to transfer sovereignty to Mauritius while leasing Diego Garcia back for 99 years is not new, nor was it opposed by Washington initially. Trump's reversal feels less about the base itself and more about aligning with figures like Nigel Farage, who benefit from confrontation with current European leadership.This is Trump playing a long game with the people he thinks will be in power next, not the ones currently holding office. Whether that gamble pays off is unclear, but it explains why a relatively obscure British territorial issue suddenly became Truth Social fodder. It is coalition maintenance, not military planning.Netflix, Warner Bros., and the End of Cable GravityFinally, Netflix's revised all-cash bid for Warner Bros. Discovery does a great job highlighting just how badly legacy media wants scale — and how selectively Netflix wants assets. Netflix does not care about cable networks. It wants intellectual property: Batman, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones. Paramount, by contrast, wants the whole thing in order to fight back against Netflix, and is willing to fight in court to get it.Hovering over all of this is CNN, which Netflix has no interest in owning and Paramount views as distressed but strategically important. Trump's recent reposts criticizing Netflix's cultural dominance suggest he may no longer stay neutral, which adds another unpredictable variable. This fight is not just about entertainment. It is about who controls narrative power in a post-cable world.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:05:47 - Justin and Kirk Bado on Republicans, Greenland, and Trump00:32:59 - Justin and Kirk Bado on Democratic Midterm Primaries00:49:20 - Justin and Kirk Bado on Josh Shapiro and 202800:59:51 - Steelers Talk01:13:25 - Update01:13:48 - Immigration01:16:30 - Chagos Islands01:21:16 - Netflix, Paramount, and Warner Bros.01:25:06 - Interview with Juliegrace Brufke on Congressional Vibes01:58:28 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Keir Starmer's belief that he's the ‘Trump Whisperer' appears to be in tatters. Having managed to say nothing of any great substance in response to the President's tariff threats, the Prime Minister was on the end of a brutal social media evisceration overnight - as Trump took to Truth Social to call Labour's Chagos Islands giveaway “stupid”.Camilla and Tim question why Starmer has allowed himself to be bullied by Trump, how today's approving of plans for the controversial Chinese super-embassy will surely only inflame tensions further, and just why - when it's his favourite place in the world - Sir Keir isn't moving heaven and earth to meet the President in Davos this week.

Souveraineté des Chagos by TOPFM MAURITIUS
In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with Robert Midgley, journalist and spokesperson for the Friends of British Overseas Territories, to expose what could be Keir Starmer's greatest political scandal yet — the quiet handover of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius.We unpack how this shocking deal — costing British taxpayers up to £47 billion — effectively gives away sovereign UK territory in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Robert reveals how the Labour government, under pressure from international legal activists like Philippe Sands, has undermined British sovereignty and endangered one of America's most strategic military bases, Diego Garcia.From allegations of corruption and hacked negotiations in Mauritius to the Chinese Communist Party's interest in the region, we examine how Britain's political and legal elite have allowed foreign powers to dictate national policy under the banner of “decolonisation.”We also explore the untold story of the Chagossian people — forcibly removed by the British government in the 1960s, yet still overwhelmingly pro-British today, despite decades of betrayal.All this — the Chagos scandal, the billions in taxpayer money, China's growing influence, and how Starmer's Labour is sleepwalking Britain into surrendering its sovereignty.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall Hosted on Acast.

Souveraineté sur l'archipel des Chagos : la balle est désormais dans le camp de la House of Lords by TOPFM MAURITIUS
As the Chagos Islands deal returns to the Commons, the Standard's Chief Political Correspondent, Rachael Burford, joins us to explain how the influx of islanders from the remote archipelago has left Hillingdon council in crisis. The Chagos Islands have been the subject of a long-running legal dispute between the UK and Mauritius. This week's special report explains how in 2022, those born on Chagos and their children were offered full British citizenship, as a small gesture towards acknowledging historical wrongs. But with more families expected to arrive in the capital, the financial strain is forcing difficult choices. And in part two, The Standard's Chief Restaurant Critic and Going Out Editor David Ellis is here to reveal this week's Hidden London destination - the cigar merchant JJ Fox, which for more than 240 years has drawn the great and the good, from Winston Churchill to Oscar Wilde.

La ONU acaba de cumplir ochenta años y no podemos decir que se encuentre en su mejor momento. Fue fundada el 26 de junio de 1945 con la firma de la Carta de las Naciones Unidas por parte de cincuenta países independientes que aspiraban a evitar nuevas guerras. Hoy, con 193 miembros, conflictos como los de Ucrania y Gaza evidencian su limitada capacidad para cumplir este objetivo. Las cinco potencias con veto en el Consejo de Seguridad (EEUU, Rusia, China, el Reino Unido y Francia) rara vez se ponen de acuerdo y la reciente escalada entre Israel e Irán ha puesto una vez más de manifiesto la ineficacia del Consejo, reducido a debates estériles y resoluciones sin impacto sobre el mundo real. La organización atraviesa además una crisis financiera agravada por la retención de fondos estadounidenses, lo que ha llevado al secretario general, António Guterres, a ordenar recortes de personal. Agencias humanitarias importantes, como el Programa Mundial de Alimentos, sufren serios ajustes presupuestarios que están poniendo en riesgo su funcionamiento. Esta situación recuerda al declive de la Sociedad de Naciones en el periodo de entreguerras, aunque de forma más gradual. Pero, a pesar de todo, nadie quiere debatir sobre el futuro de la ONU. Los que trabajan en su seno están más preocupados por la inestabilidad laboral, los Gobiernos entretanto priorizan cuestiones como los aranceles y la seguridad nacional, dejando siempre a la ONU en un segundo plano. Pero, a pesar de sus muchos fallos, la ONU retiene aún alguna utilidad importante. Sirve como espacio para que grandes potencias negocien y encuentren puntos en común, y permite a los Estados más pequeños expresarse, aunque por lo general sin ser escuchados. Sus operaciones humanitarias y de mantenimiento de la paz, aunque afectadas por los continuos recortes de presupuesto, siguen siendo una red de seguridad en regiones desatendidas. Históricamente la ONU ha gestionado crisis internacionales como las que se produjeron durante la Guerra Fría, el genocidio de Ruanda o la guerra de Irak, pero siempre ha conseguido adaptarse a un entorno cambiante. La organización se ve lastrada por una pesada burocracia y por divisiones entre Estados. Los países occidentales abogan por fortalecer la prevención de conflictos y el mantenimiento de la paz, mientras que los países en desarrollo exigen una mayor atención en los aspectos económicos y critican el incumplimiento de compromisos de ayuda por parte de los Estados ricos. La parálisis del Consejo de Seguridad, producto del deterioro de las relaciones entre las tres potencias occidentales, China y Rusia, y la aversión al riesgo de Guterres no hacen más que agravar la situación. La invasión de Ucrania y las amenazas de Trump de apropiarse del canal de Panamá o de Groenlandia ponen en entredicho los principios de la Carta fundacional de la ONU. Además, el ascenso de China y nuevas plataformas como los BRICS desafían la relevancia de la ONU en un mundo que camina hacia la multipolaridad. A pesar de esto, la organización mantiene algunas ventajas: sus agencias técnicas facilitan la cooperación internacional, y el Consejo de Seguridad sigue siendo un canal de diálogo entre potencias, incluso en tiempos de crisis. Los Estados pequeños valoran la ONU como plataforma para hacerse oír, como demostró hace solo dos meses Mauricio con la disputa por las islas Chagos, resuelta finalmente en la ONU. Se critica a la organización por su ineficiencia, pero en operaciones de paz y ayuda humanitaria no tiene competidores. Los recortes limitarán su alcance, pero su utilidad podría ser reconocida en el futuro. Entra en su novena década de vida con mucha menos influencia, pero si mantiene su papel como foro diplomático, habrá que seguir teniéndola en cuenta.

This Friday marks exactly one year since Keir Starmer was elected as Prime Minister in a landslide victory.Despite only polling 33pc of the vote share, Labour trounced the Conservatives, came away with an enormous majority of 174, and looked set for two terms of governmental dominance. As Starmer himself put it, Labour was planning for "a decade of national renewal".Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley discuss how - from Lord Alli's free clothes to Rachel Reeves's disastrous budget, from going to war with farmers to the Chagos giveaway, from u-turns on winter fuel payments to u-turns on welfare reforms - Keir Starmer has somehow managed to squander all of the momentum from his election win in just twelve months.With his record low approval ratings, is he already at risk of being replaced? And if so - who by?Producer: Lilian FawcettSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineySocial Media Producer: Ji-Min LeeVideo Editor: Will WaltersStudio Operator: Meghan SearleOriginal music by Goss Studio Hosted on Acast.

The Spectator's editor Michael Gove and assistant editor Madeline Grant interview Rupert Lowe, MP for Great Yarmouth and notorious Westminster provocateur. Earlier this year, Lowe was suspended from the Reform party amid claims of threats towards the party's then-chairman Zia Yusuf, and a souring relationship with Nigel Farage. Following his political ‘assassination', he now sits as an independent MP and continues to be one of the most energetic parliamentarians in challenging the Westminster orthodoxy.During the discussion – recorded before Zia Yusuf resigned as party chairman on Thursday – Lowe diagnoses the issues that have blighted Reform and its bid to ‘professionalise'; challenges Michael on the then-Tory government's mismanagement of an 80-seat majority and its record on Covid; addresses his interview with Emily Maitlis and her questioning on the grooming gangs scandal; but admits, in spite of it all, that he would still prefer Nigel Farage to be Prime Minister over Keir Starmer.Watch the interview in full on Spectator TV.

Iles Chagos : le Royaume-Uni reconnait la souveraineté de MauriceAprès un bras de fer de plus d'un demi-siècle, les îles Chagos ont été rétrocédées par le Royaume-Uni à l'île Maurice.

Give Nigel Farage the Job NOW – Britain's Had Enough! #NigelFarage #ReformUK #KeirStarmer #UKPolitics Angela Rayner says she doesn't want Keir Starmer's job as Prime Minister. THANK GOD – she'd be an even bigger disaster! The lies, the spin, the smug non-answers… Her TV interviews today reeked of pure political BS. Why even bother airing this nonsense? Jon Gaunt says that Labour is a charisma-free zone—an incompetent circus of liars, truth dodgers, and power-hungry bureaucrats. And the Tories? Not much better! Kemi Badenoch is grasping at thin air, and now even she's on the chopping block. The Lib Dems? Don't make me laugh! Meanwhile, Nigel Farage and Reform UK are DOMINATING the polls with real ideas: ✅ Bring back the Winter Fuel Allowance for ALL pensioners ✅ Scrap the unfair Two-Child Benefit Cap ✅ Tear up Starmer's sellout EU deal ✅ End the Chagos betrayal ✅ Deport illegal migrants—appoint a Minister for Deportation ✅ FIX the small boats crisis And what does the political elite do? Squeal that it's “not costed.” As if Labour and the Tories haven't burned billions already! We don't need another 4 years of lies, chaos, and broken promises. Britain needs real leadership, and Farage is the only one speaking for the people.

The Independent Sentencing Review chaired by former Lord Chancellor David Gauke has today announced its suggested reforms which sees a major shift from imprisonment to community-led sentencing. Measures include the recommendation that convicted criminals leave prisons after serving around one-third of their sentence, that short prison sentences of up to 12 months are drastically reduced and – the attention grabbing – expansion of chemical castration for paedophiles. What are the political ramifications of these policies, and will they work? Danny Shaw, former advisor to Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, and James Heale discuss with Lucy Dunn. Also on the podcast, they discuss a last minute obstacle to resolving the Chagos deal and the news that net migration dropped dramatically in 2024. Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Patrick Gibbons.

The Chagos Islands have dominated news headlines over the past few months, but the struggle of the Chagossian people to reclaim their island home has spanned centuries. First colonised in 1513 by the Portuguese, the archipelago shifted from one imperial master to another over the course of the next three hundred years, until the British took control in the 19th century and changed the course of Chagossian history forever... In the 20th century the US realised the strategic importance of the Chagos archipelago, sitting equidistant between Asia and Africa. As the island of Diego Garcia became home to one of the largest US military bases in the world, the Chagossian people were forcibly evicted from their lands and displaced across the world, left to fend for themselves in unknown lands. Listen as Anita and William are joined by Philippe Sands, barrister, writer and academic, who has been leading the repatriation case against the British government on behalf of the Chagos Islands and the Mauritian state.

Trump has blown the Overton window wide open. In a press conference yesterday alongside Benjamin Netanyahu, the US president outlined his intention to ‘take over the Gaza Strip', displacing 1.8 million Palestinians in the process. His plan – if you can call it that – is to build ‘the Riviera of the Middle East'. Many of the countries Trump has earmarked to resettle displaced Gazans have already condemned the takeover. How will the international community respond? Elsewhere, Keir Starmer seems more motivated by a desire to observe the rule of international law than his buddy across the pond. The Chagos deal seems set to be completed in the ‘coming weeks'. However, the new Mauritian prime minister, Navin Ramgoolam, claimed yesterday that Starmer cut a deal – in the presence, rather curiously, of his Attorney General, Lord Hermer – that would effectively double the £9 billion first offered to the country to take back the archipelago. Why are they pressing ahead with this deal? And, seven months into this government, are we any closer to discovering what ‘progressive realism' actually is? James Heale speaks to Katy Balls and Michael Stephens, associate fellow at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI). Produced by Oscar Edmondson.
