Rishi Sunak flies to India for G20 summit with post-Brexit trade deal in sight

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:27:53 GMT

LONDON — Rishi Sunak arrives in New Delhi for the G20 leaders’ summit Friday hoping to finalize a slimmed-down trade deal with India for signoff next month.A free-trade agreement between the U.K. and India — one of the most coveted prizes of Brexit — will not be done and dusted this weekend, but both sides are hopeful a deal can be reached before the end of the year.Such an outcome hinges in part on face-to-face talks between Sunak and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, scheduled for Saturday in New Delhi. No. 10 Downing Street is keen to make much of Sunak’s trip, with his spokesperson telling reporters this week: “As the first British prime minister of Indian descent, his visit will be an historic moment.”Sunak now faces “a political decision” on whether to press ahead with a slimmed-down trade deal, one senior business representative told POLITICO, as Modi works to “bounce” him into a rapid agreement ahead of next year’s Indian election.“Modi...

He presided over the “mini-budget,” which precipitated market turmoil, an emergency intervention from the Bank of England, and was gutted within days.Speaking to POLITICO’s Westminster Insider podcast, Kwarteng said he felt “let down” by his longstanding friend and political ally Truss. He revealed the two have not spoken about his dramatic firing since it took place.In an episode about what former prime ministers do after leaving office, Kwarteng gave a frank assessment of politicians who are “adrenaline junkies” and likened top jobs to being in an “action movie.”Speaking about how ex-leaders feel after office, Kwarteng said: “These people, political people, but I think particularly people who get to the top, they...

Labour should encourage Britain’s Indo-Pacific ambitions

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:27:53 GMT

Ben Bland is the director of the Asia-Pacific Programme at Chatham House.As the United Kingdom’s opposition Labour Party senses that it is getting closer to power, it is following a seemingly contradictory strategy: intensifying its polemical attacks on the Conservatives, while also ensuring its own policies hew closely to the Tories to neutralize any claims that leader Keir Starmer is a dangerous radical.This may well prove to be sound electoral triangulation, but when it comes to foreign policy and Britain’s uncertain place in a fast-changing world, Labour needs to be thinking beyond such electoral tactics.Along these lines, Starmer and Labour’s Shadow Foreign Secretary David Lammy have already indicated that, if elected, Labour will maintain support for Ukraine and work along Tory lines to improve the post-Brexit relationship with the European Union. However, the party seems unconvinced by the Conservative government’s Indo-Pacific tilt — and this needs to change.For the past yea...

You may remember that the European Commission chief’s beloved pony was killed by a wolf in Germany last year (RIP Dolly).

Georgia must do more to earn EU membership, Brussels warns

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 02:27:53 GMT

KAZBEGI, Georgia — Ukrainian flags fly from the houses that line the highway up to the Georgian border, while on the road below, dozens of tow-trucks pull brand new luxury Porsches and Land Rovers over the mountain pass and into Russia as the super-wealthy skirt Western sanctions. If the country’s politicians have their way, this could soon be the EU’s easternmost frontier.But Georgia has refused to impose sanctions on Russia and stands accused of helping circumvent them by exporting consumer goods and luxuries — like the cars lining up on the border at Kazbegi.The South Caucasus nation has for years made little secret about its ambitions to join the EU, despite being more than a thousand kilometers across the Black Sea from the nearest member. The former Soviet Republic has gone as far as to enshrine its ambitions to become part of the bloc, and of NATO, into the constitution.In a long-awaited visit to Georgia on Thursday, the EU’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell, war...
