Starmer strikes a deal with India and it’s good biz

Trump strikes a deal with India and he’s making India great again.

Have a word with yourself, you look ridiculous!

Tell me about this deal Trump has struck with India……

[goose]

 

Why would I be embarrassed to have voted for the party which gained a huge majority? If I truly believed in them why would I be embarrassed? They won by a mile.

apparently because I can tell the difference between employer contributions and employee contribution that means I voted for them.

btw it was the conservatives who cut NI. Because I know that does that mean I voted for them as well?

 

Pretty easy to sit there and have a debate as a so called neutral. I’ve been transparent from day one, you either stand for something or fall for anything.

We all know what you have fallen for. Good luck with that because it’s only gonna get a lot worse.

 

Globalism for one. Liberalism for another or should I say Socialism.

Believing what your oppressive Gov’t are telling you. You know the Gov’t you are not allowed to criticize.

Liberal media and their constant fake news that you constantly repeat.

Your left wing brainwashed opinion of Trump. You’ll believe anything you read as long as it is Trump negative.

Yeah you’ve fallen for plenty.

 

 

I'm not sure you understand half the words you type.
socialism? I was the one defending a cut to benefits and you were criticising it!! Who’s the socialist?

You approach this stuff like supporting a football team, you’ll only ever support one side of anything depending on your team.

[Nutsin]

What deal has Trump agreed with India?
Apple already produce iPhones in India. They switched their shipments destination to avoid paying the Chinese tariffs.

 

I phones being built in India now for the American meat remember?

This was when all you had to argue was I phone production and nothing else. Probably a few pages back on this thread.
OR are you gonna lie again and pretend you didn’t mock Trump for the deal?

So you’re comparing the uk agreeing a trade deal with India to Apple re jigging their shipments destination to avoid Trumps tariffs?

yes I laughed about it because it made him look silly for claiming that the US was going to produce iPhones.

No you made a big deal about it at the time. My position has always been I’d rather the US move all Chinese trade to India, it makes the world of sense.
Apple has announced a $500 billion investment into the USA so don’t know why you’d laugh at Trump? 

what it shows is you’ve been brainwashed with TDS from the fake news networks you pretend you don’t listen to.

Just another example of your true colours you are trying desperately to hide……Coward! Own it at least you’d have some self respect.

[Nutsin]

No all along you’ve been fence sitting pretending to lean right, however it’s apparent that isn’t the case. You’re just embarrassed to admit it because you know it’s a losing hand.


I got you from day one.

My dirty little secret that I can read some numbers off a graph or table? Or that I understand when taxes go down instead of up?

Yeh you got me there.

I’ll take neither thanks.

Oh back to fence sitting are we?

[Nutsin]

No more desperate for a trade deal than Trump is I would say. Who wouldn’t want a mutually beneficial deal with the fastest growing economy in the G20.
The UK economy actually grew more than the US in Q1 although that’s nothing to write home about.

As for taxation, no it hasn’t gone up. It actually went down last year. Employer contributions have gone up.
If you look at taxation + healthcare contributions as a % of GDP the U.K. is pretty much in line with the USA.

Because he needs a win bad after the elections and the economy is on life support, plus there is the cost of immigration that is gonna continue to rise as more and more pile in. They are already raising N I contributions, taxation is through the roof and benefits are getting cut. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

No harm in verifying Goose son. I mean it’s not like they haven’t lied before now is it?

After the shocking results of recent elections Starmer needed a win so the timing seems perfect to deflect from the reality of the misery they are causing.

Just curious to know the level of desperation and concessions given up to get it.

It’s widely reported and was confirmed by the trade minister this morning. It’s a fact.

The same terms are offered to people from many other countries. Why should they be paying into a pension when they’re only here temporarily and cannot claim a state pension?

So I see they are citing “Indian sources” Guess we will have to wait for the details of the agreement to be published to find out the reality. Hopefully this report isn’t more lies.

Personally I prefer the UK and USA to trade with India instead of China, so I like the concept. Although I think most would agree any concessions on N I contributions to any particular group would be unacceptable.

• Labour Mobility: The agreement includes a provision exempting Indian professionals temporarily seconded to the UK from national insurance contributions for up to three years.

So according to your interpretation of what has been reported there is no real benefit for an employer to hire an Indian over a non Indian. Do I have that correct?

Can I ask the source of your information. Or could you post a link?

So if it really kicks off between India and Pakistan does that mean the UK will be accepting even more Indian and Pakistani refugees?
