The UK government announced a significant trade deal with India, aiming to increase bilateral trade by £25 billion, marking it as the largest post-Brexit agreement. While Labour's leader, Sir Keir Starmer, praised the deal, the Tory leader, Kemi Badenoch, faced criticism for allegedly creating a distraction around her own inability to secure a similar agreement. The deal cuts tariffs on products such as whisky and cosmetics while easing import controls on Indian textiles and food, yet there are contentious points regarding worker national insurance exemptions.
The newly-struck India trade deal is expected to bolster the UK economy significantly by boosting bilateral trade and cutting tariffs on key imports.
Labour's Starmer called the agreement a landmark achievement, emphasizing its potential to stimulate economic growth and establish strong trade relations post-Brexit.
