7 months agoDeal struck to deport migrants arriving in the Chagos Islands to St Helena
In a deal struck by Sir Keir Starmer, migrants arriving in the Chagos Islands will be deported to St Helena, over 5,000 miles away. This arrangement is part of negotiations allowing the UK's future use of the Chagos Islands while transferring sovereignty to Mauritius. The government has allocated £6.65 million for St Helena to accommodate incoming migrants until the details are finalized.
