Speaking to journalists on a flight to Mumbai, where he is due to tout the trade deal signed in July, Starmer said it "isn't part of the plans" to open up more visa spots for Indian workers. He's joined on the trip by 125 business and cultural leaders, several of whom have warned the UK that its efforts to restrict overseas workers coming to the UK risk creating a labour shortage.
