Emeritus Prof Christopher May on Nostr: #RishiSunak's strategy in talking down the possibility of an #India - UK #trade deal ...
#RishiSunak's strategy in talking down the possibility of an #India - UK #trade deal is pretty clear.
Given a key demand from the Indian side is enhanced access by Indian workers to the UK, at a time when he's trying to claim he can 'protect' the UK borders from #migrants, a claim of hypocrisy would look pretty likely from the #media...
but, equally, if he does manage to concoct an acceptable deal from his (the UK's) weakened position, he's laid the ground for a claim of supreme deal-maker!
