'Soggy Poppadums' Or 'Fine Tandoori'? MPs Clash In UK Parliament Over India Trade Deal Benefits

Описание: A splash of humour lit up the UK Parliament as MPs debated the India-UK free trade deal, but beneath the jokes lay sharp disagreements. Conservative MP Andrew Griffith dismissed the agreement as “soggy poppadums,” arguing it fails to deliver for UK services and delays tariff relief for British exporters. Others warned about labour competition and gaps in investment protection. The government pushed back hard. Trade Minister Chris Bryant called the deal a “fine tandoori,” citing strong backing from banks, small businesses and global firms. He pointed to projected gains of 4.8 billion euros to UK GDP, major wage growth and sharp tariff cuts by India on most UK exports. Supporters stressed India’s rapid economic rise and its importance in a volatile global order. What sounded like banter was in fact a serious test of Britain’s trade strategy after Brexit.
