To wonder what Starmer was thinking with this one

How is it more people through the door? They haven't introduced free movement and they haven't relaxed the visa rules, they have merely introduced reciprocal arrangements with regards to NI for Indian staff working on short term secondments with Indian companies.

Dependents will also pay the NHS surcharge. And for the record, modern Indian women really don't have "loads of kids". The average is 2. But feel free to carry on with your scaremongering.

They won’t be getting private anything.
Relocating is as expensive as you make it.

Hire thousands, bring them over, house in caravans, Bob’s your uncle.

They will be seconded. Temporary, no NI contributions.

It’s a con to allow more unchecked immigration.

Why employ locals eh? Just set up a company with Indian domain and hire people from abroad, dodge the tax due, undercut local wages. Robert’s your dad’s brother.

Just watch, it won’t be genuine capital flowing into the country as a result of this bogus trade deal. It’ll be bogus foreign companies, bringing in low skilled labour, paying them even less than local labour costs, piling more pressure into public services through arrivals of extended families, low paid migrant labour is not net contributing.

Higher immigration, lower tax receipts, lower GDP per capita, more people using public services they don’t earn enough to pay for.

What an absolute disaster and a fraud.

How are these thousands of nmw Indian workers getting a uk work visa?

There is a reason India has a population of 1.4 billion people. They have kids. Loads of kids. Kids and pregnant women use the NHS a lot.
Even if the NHS can back charge India for any care, it’s more people through the door adding pressure on the NHS resources.

I understand this but that is one of his major weaknesses: he has no idea how to communicate to the audience. He also doesn’t seem to stand for anything. I really do think he’s a waste of a Labour PM.

Yes I guess that is a possibility, but relocating employees is an expensive business, so this imaginary Indian company would have to already be doing very well to afford to bring their entire construction workforce over here to take jobs that would otherwise go to minimum wage folks here.
Plus the private healthcare and schooling.
Seems unlikely.

It is the sneering ‘only thickos could vote for Reform/brexit/anything I disagree with’ attitude. It doesn’t win people over and makes you sound narrow minded and intolerant.

Double post!

It seems to me from reading this thread that a lot of people don't understand how global many companies are and how many employees of these companies relocate for jobs across the world.
These opportunities come with packages providing private healthcare and private school for their children.
The companies will rent high end housing for the duration.
This will literally have no effect on Joe Bloggs getting a GP appointment or cost this country money.
The deal with India has just made it easier for Indian employees to come here for 3 years, and vice versa.
Our company is growing enormously in India and I imagine there will be many opportunities coming out of this.
In addition a great boost for the economy with the reduction in tariffs.

What? I’m the polar opposite of a farage voting Brexit supporter. 😂😂😂.

id have thought that people who disagree with me on this issue are the Farage supporters

Flinging insults? It was YOU who called @Keirawr a racist.
FFS!

😂. You think you’re so witty. I saw that exact same insult on another thread yesterday. Was that you too, is that your stock insult when you disagree with someone? Or are you copying someone else? Oh dear.

Most people on here happily discuss opposing views without flinging insults and being so rude. But you came right out the gate being nasty. You should really reflect on that. Are you this horrible to people in real life?

Britain benefits largely from this, it also helps British workers in India. You’ve obviously read the daily hate mail and not bothered to research the fine print.

The deal had been in the making for 3 years, which means the Tories are probably responsible for it's terms and all Starmer has done is take it over the line
