Keir Starmer is facing a storm over handing the Chagos Islands to Mauritius and paying £30billion for the privilege today.
Ministers have insisted the deal to transfer sovereignty of the British territory is 'good value' - despite Sir Keir's counterpart describing it as a 'great victory'.
The government is also being hammered for fiddling figures to claim the total cost of the deal will be £3.4billion - even though it appears to be 10 times that.
Kemi Badenoch said that Donald Trump would be 'laughing' at how Sir Keir had been outmanoeuvred, with the US base on Diego Garcia now secured for the next 99 years.
After armed forces minister Luke Pollard toured broadcast studios defending the terms, the Tory leader said America got a 'great deal at the expense of the UK'.
