Keir Starmer has served a group of Chagos Islanders who landed by boat on the territory on Tuesday with an eviction notice, threatening them with a three-year prison term if they don’t leave.
The Chagossians who returned are protesting against the government handing the islands back to Mauritius, and include the elected first minister Misley Mandarin.
Camilla and Tim speak to Chagos campaigner and sister of Mr Mandarin, Vanessa Calou, who says that Starmer has “given away our island without consulting the British people” and calls the Prime Minister “disgusting” and a “traitor” who must resign.
They also attend Robert Jenrick’s first press conference as “shadow” chancellor, and ask whether Reform have abandoned radical policy ideas in an effort not to spook the markets.
