Has the Prime Minister completely lost it? Is he now acting for the Chinese?
Is all this involuntary? Does Ki Jing-Starmin know what he is unleashing on the country?

Trump launches a devastating attack on his Chagos deal, Starmer goes ahead regardless and also approves the Chinese mega-Embassy
We have now reached a stage where we are faced with difficult decisions to make as a non-partisan organisation. The only correct way forward is to ignore political parties involved and focus on the actions being taken. We consider yesterday to have been Sir Keir’s darkest hour, and here’s why.
Our Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, is now acting overtly against the interests of the United Kingdom and in favour of the Chinese Communist Party, and we must assume this is unknowingly.
Yesterday morning we were focused on Chagos. Our Chairman had another piece published in GB News. This was at their request, as they know how much we had studied the deal and had published on this many times, before it became fashionable to do so. Below is just one example, from Feb 2025. We first started publishing on Chagos in 2024, long before others.
From early 2025...
The Government's growing Chagos crisis took a dramatic new turn at the weekend. Facts4EU.Org brings readers a fascinating two-parter with all the latest developments.
Sir Keir's Chagos negotiating partner arrested
At the weekend, the former British colony of Mauritius was rocked by the news that its former Prime Minister – with whom Sir Keir Starmer and Foreign Secretary David Lammy agreed the original deal to surrender the Chagos Islands only a matter of months ago – has been arrested on charges associated with corruption and money-laundering.
Back to the present day...
Very shortly afterwards yesterday, the argument turned to the proposed, excessively-sized, Chinese ‘mega-Embassy’ in the centre of our capital city. The Government announced it had decided to approve the planning application for this, despite the wholly legitimate security arguments as to why it was hugely dangerous to the national security of the United Kingdom, as well as to the rest of Europe.
To say we were dumbfounded is to understate our reaction. Here is a Government which has acknowledged the threats of such an enormous building with a massive underground facility beneath it. Not only that, but its proximity to some of the nation’s key infrastructural data cabling passing so close to it makes the decision unfathomable on many levels.
Last night’s vote in the Commons
Last night in the House of Commons, the Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill was debated for the final time. On this occasion, the debate concerned the proposed amendments that had come from the Lord. In fact, it turned out that two of the amendments were not allowed any discussion at all. Mr Speaker had rules them inadmissible for technical reasons and they were therefore taken as automatically opposed.
The rest of the debated followed with the Government, in the form of the Rt Hon Stephen Doughty MP, Minister of State for Europe, North America and Overseas Territories ignoring the late intervention from President Trump and continuing to trot out the same discredited lines on a security ‘necessity’ for the Bill to proceed. As for Trump, apparently he is to be spoken to and the reasons once again patiently explained to him. We very much doubt the President will be persuaded.
In fact, let’s not mince words.
There isn’t a cat’s chance in the proverbial he will change his mind, now that he is fully abreast of all the facts. This does not seem to trouble Sir Keir.
Readers may be interested in the op-ed which our Chairman was commissioned to write by GB News. (Click image to read.)
There were only three votes in the end, thanks to two amendments being deemed as rejected.
Graham Stringer MP
Only two Labour MPs voted against the Government each time.
Graham Stringer, a Patron of our associated body, the Campaign for an Independent Britain (CIBUK.Org), and Peter Lamb, the local MP for Crawley where the Chagossian Government in Exile is based, in addition to a large number of Chagossians.
The Bill will now be discussed by a Committee before being sent back to the Lords.
The Chagossian Government in Exile
Early yesterday evening our Chairman spoke to the First Minister of the Chagossian Government in Exile, Mr Misley Mandarin, with whom we have been on excellent terms for a long period.
In a message to Facts4EU readers he told our Chairman:
“Thank you for your continued support. WE WILL WIN THIS.”
- The Rt Hon Misley Mandarin, First Minister, Chagossian Government in Exile, 20 Jan 2026
The Chinese mega-spy factory
Under the last government, the planning application for the new Chinese Embassy were rejected at local level and the government did not interfere. This time, the decision has been taken off the Council and has been decided by the Minister responsible. Quite extraordinarily, Sir Keir decided to approve the application yesterday, presumably on the basis that he wanted all the fights completed in one day.
Just as with the Chagos debate, the Minister blithely ignored all the arguments against this monstrosity being built and acted as if it were little more than a garage extension.

“Ki Jing-Starmin” – Friend of Communist China
In a few weeks’ time, the PM will be in Beijing meeting the head of the Chinese Communist Party. No doubt, he will receive a hero’s welcome from Xi Jinping for his efforts in giving the most strategically important military base in the World to China, via its proxy Mauritius. And then to have the icing on the cake of the largest spying facility in the world (outside China itself) being built in London? Well, you spoil us, dear Ki.
It seems that Sir Keir (to revert to his English name) is doing all of this to assist in him coming home with some form of trade deal in his pocket.
Heaven help us, is all we can say. The last time Sir Keir had to dirty his hands in commerce was when he last opened a book on commercial law in his first year studying law at Leeds University in the early 1980s. Since then he has been engaged in the loftier pursuits of international human rights. (Sadly these do not extend to the human rights of the Chagossians, as our friend Misley Mandarin will tell us.)
Monday, 20 January, 2026 – A turning point
It is quite possible that yesterday will be seen, looking back, as the turning point which proves that Sir Keir Starmer is blatantly failing to act in the interests of the United Kingdom and its allies. Instead he seems to feel that giving the Chinese everything they want is the “right thing to do”.
Unfortunately, this is not only proof that he puts his personal belief system above the interests of the people he is supposed to be representing, it will also prove to be one of the most catastrophic days in the life of his entire, faltering government. Once ratified, there is no going back from the Chagos treaty. Or if there is, it will be very messy and we have yet to hear of a solution that could work.
As regards the mega-spy centre in London, this becomes Chinese territory and is then inviolable. There can be do going in and inspecting what they are up to. We will be powerless.
Yes, Monday 20 January 2026 could turn out to be the darkest hour in the nation’s history in a long time.
