Good morning. Yesterday, the government was able to announce some good news - a major trade agreement with India.
The cross-party consensus believes that a trade deal is a good thing, and the last Conservative government is also reaching a deal with India, and at least some Conservatives are happy to welcome the deal. Oliver Dowdenthe former prime minister posted this on social media.
UK-India FTA ends, we welcome progress. I remember the commitment of Jonathan Reynolds to relations from our cross-party delegation to India!
The major progress made by the Conservative government in the past is based on.
Free trade is a win-win situation for both countries
and Jacob Rees-Moggformer business secretary posted on the other wing of the party with Dowden.
Cheap food and beverages including rice and tea, footwear and clothing thanks to a welcome trade agreement with India. Brexit promised.
But Dodon and Rees Mogg did not get memos about the official opposition line. As reported on the blog yesterday afternoon, Kemi Badenoch The decision to conduct a transaction on the grounds that include a double donation conference means that Indian workers who temporarily reside in the UK will not have to pay three years of national insurance contributions - British workers in India benefit in the same way. Crucially, Badenoch found an effective way to negatively affect this relative niche feature of the deal – which she described as a “two-tier” tax that involved “refunds to Indians that we couldn’t get.” Nigel Farage, The British reform leaders were quick to make the same argument, claiming that the government made hiring Indian workers 20% cheaper than British workers. He said in a video that the deal was "shocking" and claimed that the deal showed that Labour had "betrayed Britain in a big and big way".
Badenoch has certainly succeeded in getting her message with the right-wing paper. Here are some of the previous pages today.
Jonathan Reynoldsthe Minister of Commerce has been interviewing this morning. His main task was to oppose the British Conservative/Reform claim, he insisted that the double donation convention was a conventional feature of the trade agreement, applied only to the subcategories of workers (employees from companies operating in the UK and India, temporarily borrowing from one country, and that British workers were not weakened. He said the Conservative Party and reform were "confused".
He told Plan Today:
Without a case, I will never weaken British workers through any trade agreement we signed. That's not part of the deal.
Conservative Party A business in India for a few seconds in a short time in the UK or a business in the UK for a few seconds in a short time in a short time in a short time in a few seconds in a short time in a worker in India, you now don't pay at the same time... You don't pay at the same time...
This is exactly what we have reached with 50 countries with the United States, Canada, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand.
Conservatives signed Chile for five years in the government in recent years. So no, the British workers were not weakened.
When asked whether the agreement means Indian workers pay less taxes than the UK does for the same job, Reynolds told the plan: "No"
Reynolds said in an interview with Sky News that the trade deal would bring more than £1 billion in tax revenue to the Treasury. He said the "Double Contribution Convention" would "be less than one-tenth of the cost."
