I just want to go back slightly there
0:02
I was... I literally had my breath taken away at this clip

the Prime Minister just said in that press conference about the Chagos Island surrender a short while ago
0:12
Take a listen. Against it, Russia, China, Iran. And surprisingly, the leader of the opposition
0:23
Nigel Farage, are in that column alongside Russia, China and Iran, rather than the column that has the UK and its allies in it
0:33
What do you make of that? Well, let's get the reaction now of GB News' senior political commentator, Nigel Nelson
0:39
Nigel, before we go into the broader implications, do you think there's something especially shabby
0:43
and uncalled for there about trying to draw the inference that anybody who disagrees with this is in the same camp
0:49
as Xi Jinping or Vladimir Putin? The Chagossians are utterly devastated of this
0:54
And to use this moment as a broadside against Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage
0:59
a lot of people are feeling, felt especially shabby. Well, there's certainly going to be an argument

in the House of Commons later, and Keir Starmer was obviously preparing the ground for that

The point about this is that it's essential to keep Diego Garcia as a military base
1:19
We already had it. Sorry, I missed that, Martin. We already had it
1:24
We didn't need to do this deal to keep control of the base because we already had control of the base
1:29
Well, no, because we were going to have to give up the Chagos Islands
1:33
So don't think of it as paying for the privilege of giving something out
1:38
Think of it more on the lines of paying to lease a military base
