The UK and India they have now agreed a trade deal with India, which the Indian government has said includes a double convention that any Indians coming to the UK will not pay NI or nor will their employers for 3 years and vice versa ....this will really help locals get jobs How will this help all these disabled people back to work I wonder...maybe they will go and work in India .

They really hate everyone

India secured a deal known as the double contribution convention (DCC) – which means Indian workers temporarily in the UK, and their employers, will not have to pay national insurance contributions in both countries for three years.

The same will apply to British workers in India.

It is expected to make it more attractive for Indian professionals to work in the UK.

However, there will be no formal changes to immigration policy under the new trade deal.

Another trade-off in the deal will make it more straightforward for Indian musicians, chefs, and yoga instructors to work in the UK.

This is because a capped number of workers in these professions will be able to apply for visas, having previously not had an accessible route into the jobs market.

It is understood that the concession was a specific request from India in the negotiations.

Wait and see what has to be given to get a Trump deal with the USA
No matter how bad that is, Farage and the Reform mob will love it if it gives Trump everything or just about everything he demands.

Former PM Sunak was just about to agree to anything India was demanding too.

Yes, I can see why they did that.

Very apt for a man with the same moral values as an Indian call centre handler.

Can you? given they have just put NI up for employers which has resulted in some job losses or companies not taking on staff, this will certainly help the latter but not the homegrown workforce

Think Kemi has posted that they were offered this deal but declined, she can say that now of course, PMQs will be good tomorrow

Any trade deal involves concessions and trade offs but most businesses will be delighted with this and we're in dire need of some confidence back in our economy

Why not employ from Universities in the UK, so many graduates dont even have jobs.... or why not tell the current crop of GCSE students what skills they need to get a job? .....Professionals doesn't really tell you much, not against Indians coming to the UK, but that is not a level playing field if NI does not have to be paid, how do they expect student loans to be repaid if graduates cannot get a job in the first place

[Cherie]

Why not give employers an NI break for UK University graduates for example

They'd have signed it, Sunak was ready for it.
In fact Sunak was getting incredible stick because it was with India, he was being attacked by those thinking he was likely looking to only be feathering his own nest for the future.

I may look in on PMQs but how things are this is a deal that's needed.
I'd prefer Starmer and Labour to be concentrating more towards the European union.
However overall if this is the best on the table from India, fair enough, they are a strong and faster growing Nation.

So no matter what she says at PMQs, if she doesn't welcome this deal, she will just be escalating the criticism of her moving closer and closer to Farage and Reform.
I'm surprised however that Starmer didn't stall agreeing the deal until after PMQs or even Thursday.
So he must think he can give a good defence of it.

I can definitely see the merits to this.
