James Cartlidge, the shadow defense secretary, said the sovereignty of the Falklands was “not up for negotiation”.
This is a special week for the Falkland Islands and its people, Sunday is 14th June, the 44th anniversary of the Liberation of the Islands from the invading Argentine troops, which on that day definitively signed their surrender to the British Task Force sent to the South Atlantic to liberate the forcibly submitted Falklands people after 74 days.
And since then the British political system has repeatedly expressed its commitment to the Falklands’ people right to self-determination and to decide on their future, as enshrined in the UN charter and confirmed by the 2023 referendum when the overwhelming people of Falklands decided to remain a British Overseas Territory.
However the will of the British people and political system remain crucial in supporting those sovereign decisions and a recent public opinion poll could be showing some yellow lights.
