'It's British!' Lucy Powell hits back at Argentina amid row over drilling ban

Deputy Labour Leader Lucy Powell has declared the Government stands "shoulder to shoulder" with the Falkland Islands amid a fresh row with the Argentinian Government.

Speaking to the media, Ms Powell said: "Look, we stand shoulder to shoulder with Falkland Islands. That is a British territory.

"It will remain a British territory for as long as the Falkland Islanders want it to be so and I can't see that changing anytime soon.

"So I'm not going to get into a running commentary on what may or may not be happening in the Argentinian elections.

"But we stand resolute with the Falkland Islands."
