He said: “If President Trump doesn’t like the deal, the deal will not go forward and the reason for that is because we have a shared military and intelligence interest with the United States and of course they’ve got to be happy with the deal or there is no deal.”

Stephen stated to the politician: “What seems slightly extraordinary, and maybe I’m seeing it from the wrong point of view but we’ve had and everything, to get our independence, to be our Great British nation again.
“I’m not saying that I disagree with the decisions, our increased defence spending is good; taking it from the foreign aid budget not a bad idea; scrapping the Chagos deal seems like a sensible move.
“Yet all of these decisions in effect, seem to be made at the White House and were just enacting them.”
Holden responded: “Because of the way so many Labour politicians spoke about President Trump before the election, they’re now having to bend over backwards to do whatever he says now.

“Obviously, it’s really important that the Prime Minister is there acting in the British interest but these decisions, I just can’t understand this is stuff that I, as a Conservative MP was arguing for before.
“It seems that slowly, slowly Labour are coming round to it now but only because of international pressure.”Holden added: “I think they should be doing it because its the right thing to do and in the British national interest.
“What’s really concerning is that yes we have heard some noises, noises in the right direction but if this 2.5 percent includes giving away billions of pounds because the Chagos deal that is not 2.5 percent at all.
“The Prime Minister, when questioned by in the House of Commons yesterday multiple times refused to come clean on that, so I think there’s a lot still here that we still don’t know,” the MP stated.
