Britain’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer has landed in Mumbai, turning diplomacy into delivery.
After the landmark UK-India trade deal signed in July 2025, Starmer’s first official visit to India is all about proof of performance — showing that the post-Brexit agreement can create real jobs, cut tariffs, and boost British exports.
The trip comes with high expectations and sharper politics. London calls the deal a game-changer for whisky, engineering, and financial services, promising £4.8 billion in new growth each year. Delhi, however, still wants easier mobility for professionals — a point Starmer has firmly parked.
In this NewsHour special, host Guy Shone crosses to Mumbai for the latest on Starmer’s meetings, before speaking with political analyst Devasha Pant for the regional view, and former Middlesbrough Mayor Andy Preston on how Britain is positioning itself abroad.
It’s a test of diplomacy and delivery — can Starmer turn a signature into strategy?
