After Sir Keir Starmer hailed the UK's post-Brexit trade deal with India, GB News asks its members if the deal is in Britain's interests.
The deal, which is expected to boost growth by £5billion, was hailed as the the “biggest and most economically significant” accord since Brexit.
However, Indian professionals living in Britain look to have been spared from paying National Insurance in the UK as well as at home for three years.
Hailing the concession, New Delhi said: "In an unprecedented achievement, India has secured an exemption for Indian workers who are temporarily in the UK and their employers from paying social security contributions in the UK for a period of three years under the Double Contribution Convention. This will make Indian service providers significantly more competitive in the UK."
Tory leader Kemi Badenoch accused the Prime Minister of "two-tier taxes", warning: "When Labour negotiates, Britain loses."
Echoing such concerns, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage added: “The Labour Party have this time in a big, big way betrayed working Britain, and that’s why many people voted for us last Thursday, but for some reason the Government just doesn’t seem to understand. “
“Reform UK are the party of British workers. This deal is truly appalling and I think what you’ll see is Starmer’s ratings in the polls plummet further.”
