PM rules out opening up visas for Indian workers as he chases growth on trade trip
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Sir Keir Starmer will resist growing demands from British business leaders to provide more UK visas for highly skilled workers from India. While flying to Mumbai for a two-day trade visit with more than 100 business chiefs, the prime minister said opening up visas for Indian workers to come to the UK isn't part of the plan, he added. India reportedly pushed for far more visa access to the UK when the two countries were finalising their trade deal earlier this year."
The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground journalism covering reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, and stresses free access to reporting without paywalls. The outlet highlights investigations and documentaries that aim to parse facts from messaging and asks supporters to help keep journalists in the field. Sir Keir Starmer said he will resist demands from British business leaders to increase UK visas for highly skilled Indian workers during a trade visit to Mumbai. He emphasized that the priority is engagement, investment, jobs and prosperity for the United Kingdom. Ministers are considering linking visas to returns agreements, though Starmer said such measures would not apply to India.
