Do not have much to add to this other than...since UK's out of EU now, an FTA with UK will have extra dimensions to it beyond those of EU..... security of Indian embassies from Khalistani and other militant outfits, extradition of criminals provided a safe haven by His (and formerly Her) Majesty's government, and many others. The list is long. They should have signed the FTA when they had the opportunity under Rishi Sunak. Things are different now. Let them make their sub and find the money for it. More power to them.FT reporting the new British nuclear attack subs would cost appxly 40% of their annual defence budget !! .. if they spend more [ right now cutting foreign "aid" enabled them to go from 2.25 to 2.5% spending on defence !! ] , not sure where those monies will come from , most likely from welfare /NHS !! .. and they need monies for ukreen ..
