Nigel Farage has said the Chagos deal is "un-British" as he pledged to scrap the deal.

The Reform UK leader was speaking in the Commons as part of the third reading of the bill to hand over sovereignty of the islands is expected to take place later today.

The Government plans to hand over the Chagos Islands then pay to lease back the UK/US Diego Garcia military base.

Mr Farage said: "When the Americans realise that actually Mauritius is not a trustworthy nation. They're bankrupt. They need the money. They will not honour this treaty. They will be in a very different place.

"I would put it that this deal is un-British. It's against our national interest. There is no upside, there is no gain.

"I can assure you that a future Reform government will not honour this treaty."
