Nigel Farage Under Fire After 'Cheap Stunt' Over Chagos Islands

Nigel Farage claims to have been blocked by the UK government from going to the Chagos Islands

Nigel Farage has been called out for claiming the Labour government has stopped him from entering the Chagos Islands.

Labour is trying to give the archipelago to Mauritius, while paying the country £9 billion over the next 99 years so it can lease the UK-US military base on Diego Garcia.

But the move has sparked outrage from Donald Trump in recent days, even though the US president initially backed the deal.
