Sir Keir Starmer's Government has been "completely compromised" and Britain is a "sitting duck" to the rest of the world, Adam Brooks has claimed.
Speaking to GB News, the commentator declared he is "embarrassed to be British" following the Prime Minister's actions in the Middle East.
Taking aim at the Government for their Chagos deal following reports of missile strikes aimed at the Diego Garcia base, Mr Brooks argued "no one of sound mind" would give away the territory.
He told GB News: "It's my opinion that our Government is completely compromised. No one of sound mind would give away foreign territory and then ask the public to pay for that territory.
"It is strategically valuable and important. There is no reason to give this away and I believe it's the left wing at play, the lawyers trying a virtue signal."
Highlighting Sir Keir's position in the Middle East, Mr Brooks took issue with the UK only sending "one warship", HMS Dragon, which arrived at its destination on Monday.
He argued: "They're not acting in the national interest. We've sent one ship to Middle East. I'm embarrassed to be British right now, and I do not believe we are Great Britain, we are just Britain.
"Because if someone wanted to attack our territory, if Argentina turned on us for the Falklands, we could not defend them."

Discussing the UK's special relationship with the US, Mr Brooks suggested if the relations "cannot be repaired quickly", then Britain is "vulnerable" on the world stage.
He explained: "We couldn't defend our bases in the Middle East. We were called out by the UAE, by Bahrain, by Cyprus. I believe this left wing Government has embarrassed us over the last two years.
"And I think if the special relationship cannot be repaired quickly once this Labour Government are out of power, we're in trouble because we are vulnerable.
"Everyone now knows we cannot defend ourselves, and thank God that we've got Trident and a nuclear deterrent, because without that I believe we're sitting ducks to the world."

| PARLIAMENTWeighing in on the discussion, ex-Royal Marine Commandos and former Brexit Party MEP James Glancy said Britain's warship arriving almost three weeks after deployment was announced is a "joke".
He told GB News: "HMS Dragon not being ready, it's a joke. There's just that one Type-45 destroyer, and this is a moment where the Defence Secretary and Keir Starmer just say enough of the cuts, we're going to rearm.
"We should at any one time be able to have operational at least three Type-45s at least five frigates, at least three or four submarines. But we've got one submarine, barely one frigate and barely one Type-45 at sea right now.
"It's just unbelievably embarrassing and it means that the Government is not fulfilling its responsibility to defend British interests and the British people."

In a statement to MPs on Monday, Defence Secretary John Healey confirmed HMS Dragon's arrival, declaring the UK now has "more jets in the region than at any time in the last 15 years".
He told the House of Commons: "RAF and Navy pilots have now racked up nearly 900 flying hours in defence of Cyprus, Jordan, Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
"There are an extra 500 air defence personnel in Cyprus, and as more military capabilities are committed to the eastern Mediterranean, we’re working closely with the Republic of Cyprus to co-ordinate the contribution of allies, including the US, France and Greece, to reinforce the security of Cyprus.
"And I can confirm that HMS Dragon has arrived in the eastern Mediterranean and tonight begins operational integration into Cyprus’s defence alongside allies."
