An extraordinary row broke out yesterday when Keir Starmer’s government announced it was handing the islands to Mauritius … Shortly after leadership rival and former security minister Tom Tugendhat tweeted it was “disgraceful” that a Tory government had started the talks in what was seen as a pointed remark against Mr Cleverly.
However, the Cleverly camp then responded with a briefing claiming it was Liz Truss who ordered the talks to start when she was prime minister.

But Truss has hit back and said it was Boris Johnson who started the talks.
