The UK government announced a significant trade deal with India, receiving cross-party support from Conservative figures like Oliver Dowden and Jacob Rees-Mogg, who highlighted the benefits such as cheaper imports. However, criticisms arose from Kemi Badenoch, who claimed the deal introduced a 'double contribution convention' that could disadvantage British workers. This point was echoed by Nigel Farage, who criticized the deal's impact on employment costs. The deal is seen by supporters as a continuation of progress from the previous Conservative government fostering stronger UK-India relations.
"Free trade is a win-win for both nations. This deal builds on significant progress made by the previous Conservative government."
"Cheaper food and drink, including rice and tea, footwear and clothing, thanks to a welcome trade deal with India. Exactly what Brexit promised."
