Under the terms of the deal, Indians coming to Britain to work will be exempt from paying National Insurance for three years. While this deal is reciprocal, Sir Keir Starmer is under fire for granting the exemption after hiking the same tax for hard-working Brits.

“Starmer has taken over and capitulated straight away," he said. "This will hurt British workers and encourage even more immigration when it is already ridiculously high."
Meanwhile Ms Braverman, the former Home Secretary, said she blocked the trade deal on visas concessions.
