We believe the Chagos Deal is a terrible disaster, and we find the cost unaffordable. We have concerns that it could harm the indigenous Chagossian people, and our national interests. We urge the House of Commons to block any legislation relating to this deal. We think MPs should stop it, all of it.

We are concerned that the United Kingdom could pay billions of pounds over decades, which we find alarming at a time when there have been cuts to services for the vulnerable. We are deeply saddened that people across the United Kingdom are suffering economically. We oppose any increases in taxation, as well as cuts to expenditure, until this Treaty is cancelled. We find it unfair to suffer the cost of the Treaty, especially as many of the indigenous people oppose it. We cannot afford this Deal.
