    NEWS STORY : UK-India Trade Deal to Take Effect in July

    STORY

    The UK-India free trade agreement is expected to come into force on 15 July after the two Governments agreed to proceed following discussions between Keir Starmer and Narendra Modi at the G7 summit. The agreement had faced uncertainty because of Indian concerns about the UK’s forthcoming steel tariff regime.

    Reuters reported that India said its concerns had been addressed constructively, allowing implementation to move forward. The agreement is expected by the UK Government to increase long-term bilateral trade and includes tariff reductions covering products including whisky, cars, clothing, footwear and some food goods.

    The deal has been presented by ministers as one of the UK’s most significant post-Brexit trade agreements. It links two of the world’s largest economies, but its implementation also comes as the Government is seeking to balance trade policy with support for domestic steel production.

    NEWS STORY : Makerfield Poll Opens as Labour Leadership Pressure Grows

    STORY

    Voters are going to the polls in the Makerfield by-election, with the contest being watched closely because of its potential implications for Labour’s national leadership. Andy Burnham, the former Greater Manchester mayor, is standing for Labour in the seat after the resignation of Josh Simons, and a victory would return him to Westminster.

    The contest has attracted national attention because Burnham is widely regarded as a possible challenger to Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Reuters reported that the result could shape whether a leadership contest develops, with Starmer saying he would fight any challenge and arguing that such a contest would be bad for the country.

    Reform UK is also contesting the seat, with Robert Kenyon as its candidate, while other parties are seeking to use the by-election to test Labour’s support after recent political difficulties. The result is expected after polls close on Thursday evening and will be assessed for both the local outcome and its national political consequences.

  • PRESS RELEASE : G7 leaders’ statement on geopolitical issues [June 2026]

    PRESS RELEASE : G7 leaders’ statement on geopolitical issues [June 2026]

    The press release issued by 10 Downing Street on 17 June 2026.

    G7 leaders’ statement on geopolitical issues.

    Ukraine

    We, the Leaders of the G7, stand united in our unwavering support for Ukraine in defending its freedom, sovereignty, and territorial integrity. We reaffirm our solidarity with the Ukrainian population suffering from attacks on their critical infrastructure and cultural heritage. We commend Ukraine for its resilience and progress on the battlefield in recent months and emphasize there is now a new momentum.

    To support and accelerate this new momentum, we agree to increase the delivery of air defence capacities, additional systems and interceptors, and long-range capabilities. We are also ready to consider extending to Ukraine the benefit of licenses to allow for an increase in Ukraine’s military production.

    We stress the importance of energy resilience, on the basis of the needs and priorities expressed by Ukrainian authorities. We agree to provide further support to get the country through next winter.

    We commit to increase the pressure on the Russian war economy. In this context, we will strengthen our sanctions, including those on the oil and gas sectors. We consider this the right moment to proceed with additional measures, as President Trump has delivered a deal that we support in reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

    Middle East

    We recognize the breakthrough and the opportunity that currently exist in the Middle East.

    We welcome the announcement of a deal between the United States and Iran, secured under the strong leadership of President Trump, with the support of mediating countries, which provides an historic opportunity to prevent Iran from acquiring any nuclear weapon and tackling the threats related to its regional and ballistic activities. We support and are ready to contribute to its implementation.

    We reaffirm that the right of transit passage without restrictions or tolls is the bedrock of international trade. We agree that the multinational, independent, and defensive initiative led by France and the UK can play an important role to facilitate the resumption of maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz by protecting merchant vessels, reassuring commercial shipping operators, and supporting verification that all mines are removed.

    We strongly support a robust and comprehensive diplomatic follow-on agreement to the Memorandum of Understanding secured by President Trump that can bring peace and security for all in the region. We underline the need for the negotiation to this end to address the threats posed by Iran in the region and beyond and ensure that they never obtain a nuclear weapon. We agree that such a negotiation would benefit from the contributions from relevant regional and international partners, including the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). We reaffirm that Iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon.

    In Lebanon, we support, through an immediate robust ceasefire, the Lebanese leadership’s efforts to achieve the disarmament of Hezbollah and the monopoly of arms, and to protect Lebanon’s territorial integrity and sovereignty with the appropriate international security guarantees.

    In Gaza, we will accelerate humanitarian and reconstruction efforts and the swift implementation of relevant political and security measures. We call for ending violence in the West Bank.

    We commit to accelerate the diversification of energy supply routes in order to reduce global vulnerability to the Strait of Hormuz and to increase our energy stocks. We welcome the potential for Canada to deliver significant additional capacity to global markets in coming years.

    Indo-Pacific

    We highlight the importance of a free and open Indo-Pacific based on the rule of law. We reaffirm our opposition to any unilateral attempts to change the status quo, in particular by force or coercion, in the East and South China Seas and across the Taiwan Strait, which should only be resolved peacefully through dialogue.

    We express deep concern about North Korea’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs and reaffirm our commitment to the complete denuclearization of North Korea in accordance with UN Security Council resolutions. We urge North Korea to resolve the abductions issue immediately. We reiterate the need to jointly address North Korea’s cryptocurrency thefts and cybercrimes.

    We welcome the Global Convergence for Growth Summit convened by President Macron on June 11th 2026, with the participation of China. We reaffirm our common interest in converging with other large economies on the causes of large and persistent global imbalances and on the need to address them. We will continue these efforts within the G20 under the United States’ host year and in other relevant fora.

  • Peter Kyle – 2026 Comments on the Trade Deal with India

    Peter Kyle – 2026 Comments on the Trade Deal with India

    The comments made by Peter Kyle, the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, on 17 June 2026.

    We are bringing our landmark trade deal with India into force as quickly as we can, because we want businesses and the public to feel the benefits immediately, including cuts to tariffs of £400m within the first year alone. 

    The deal gives British exporters an edge over international competitors, and I would encourage all businesses to ensure they are properly prepared to allow them to sell to India’s huge market in the years to come.

    This week our UK-India Roadshow will begin travelling across all four nations to promote the incredible new opportunities this deal offers.

  • PRESS RELEASE : The countdown begins – UK-India FTA enters into force on July 15th [June 2026]

    PRESS RELEASE : The countdown begins – UK-India FTA enters into force on July 15th [June 2026]

    The press release issued by the Department for Business and Trade on 17 June 2026.

    Businesses to start preparations for historic UK-India trade deal worth £4.8bn to enter into force next month.

    • Milestone trade deal with India to come into effect next month, marking quickest ever turnaround following signature
    • Businesses encouraged to prepare for entry-into-force to feel the benefits of massive tariff cuts
    • UK agreement will be the most comprehensive trade deal India has ever brought into force

    The UK and India have today (Wednesday 17th June) announced their landmark trade deal will enter into force next month so working people and businesses can benefit.

    Businesses, who now have 28 days to prepare for the entry-into-force, will be able to trade under its terms from July 15th, following strenuous efforts to prepare UK and Indian systems. 

    The deal, which is the most comprehensive ever agreed by India, will boost UK GDP by £4.8bn, real wages by £2.2bn and bilateral trade by £25.5bn every year in the long run.

    Industries across the United Kingdom will benefit, with whisky tariffs cut from 150% to 40%, automotives from 100% to 10% under a quota and cosmetics will see tariffs of up to 22% eliminated either from day one or after 10 years.

    Business and Trade Secretary Peter Kyle said: 

    “We are bringing our landmark trade deal with India into force as quickly as we can, because we want businesses and the public to feel the benefits immediately, including cuts to tariffs of £400m within the first year alone. 

    “The deal gives British exporters an edge over international competitors, and I would encourage all businesses to ensure they are properly prepared to allow them to sell to India’s huge market in the years to come.

    “This week our UK-India Roadshow will begin travelling across all four nations to promote the incredible new opportunities this deal offers.”

    India has never implemented a deal of this size, meaning the UK will have an immediate competitive advantage over other markets.

    The UK will cut tariffs on Indian goods coming into the country such as clothes, footwear, and some food products. Less cost for British businesses importing Indian products could mean cheaper prices and more choice for consumers across the country.

    We have extended the benefit for UK nationals moving to India to work and continue to build entitlement to a UK State Pension from 36 months to 60 months. They will continue to pay National Insurance Contributions during that period, without also having to pay social security contributions in India.

    This is reciprocal for both British and Indian professionals and will be applicable to highly skilled professionals on pre-existing visa routes. This is in line with our arrangements with other countries such as Korea, Japan, and Canada.

    This will be achieved through the UK-India Double Contributions Convention Agreement, which will enter into force at the same time as the UK-India FTA.

    To benefit from the tariff reductions, businesses must register with HMRC. We would now encourage businesses to use the next 28 days to register and ensure they are fully prepared to reap the benefits of this deal.

  • PRESS RELEASE : Greater protections to restore families’ trust in home upgrades [June 2026]

    PRESS RELEASE : Greater protections to restore families’ trust in home upgrades [June 2026]

    The press release issued by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero on 17 June 2026.

    Action to protect families in the energy market and hold the retrofit industry to account.

    • New service to provide stronger oversight of retrofit industry – giving families confidence to upgrade their homes and cut bills 
    • Reforms will help fix broken system which led to widespread issues with poor-quality insulation under inherited government schemes 
    • Households to get fairer and faster compensation in the energy market under new measures to strengthen the Ombudsman 

    Families will be better protected when upgrading their homes, giving them confidence to make improvements and cut their bills. 

    Ministers are taking action to hold the retrofit industry to account for delivering home upgrades through a new consumer protection service, under proposals announced today (Wednesday 17 June).  

    Plans being consulted on would create:  

    • a transparent public register of government approved installers
    • a single advice and support service covering the entire time a home is being upgraded 
    • powers to hold installers and delivery partners to account, including bans from working on government schemes if they don’t meet high standards
    • a new data-backed system that spots risks and installer performance issues earlier 

    This will simplify the process for consumers, providing a single point of access offering end-to-end support, quality checks, and routes to redress. 

    In the past, people have faced a broken and fragmented system when installing energy efficiency measures and been left frustrated and let down when things have gone wrong, with no clear way to resolve issues. 

    Ministers are therefore acting to ensure issues which resulted in flawed insulation under legacy government schemes are never allowed to happen again.  

    Consumers will also be supported with faster and fairer compensation in the energy market under new measures to strengthen the Energy Ombudsman, which helps people solve disputes with their energy suppliers.

    If companies are not able to resolve issues directly, customers will be able to escalate their complaints to the Ombudsman within a shorter time frame, getting a decision more quickly – cutting overall waiting times by a month, to a maximum of 10 weeks.

    The Ombudsman will be empowered to fine companies if they do not comply with their ruling, with new measures set to clarify the route for consumers to go through the courts to hold suppliers to account as a last resort.

    Minister for Energy Consumers Martin McCluskey said:   

    This government inherited a broken system that left too many people in homes damaged by work that lacked clear oversight, without support when things went wrong. 

    That is why we promised to change that system and today we are setting out how we propose to do that. 

    We are building a system that puts consumers first – holding companies to account while introducing better compensation and protections for customers.

    From today, the Installation Assurance Authority (IAA) will now cover the cost of repairs to Energy Company Obligation 4 (ECO4) and Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) solid wall insulation up to £25,000, up from £20,000, where these are within the terms of the original, still-valid guarantee. This includes cases where the original installer has gone bust. 

    The National Energy Foundation, a domestic energy charity, will also cover the cost of relevant repairs for some homes with defective ECO4 and GBIS solid wall insulation, where the installer has gone out of business and the guarantee was cancelled, fraudulent or missing. 

    Since identifying issues with poor-quality solid wall insulation installed under ECO4 and GBIS, government has set up a comprehensive on-site audit programme offering audits at no cost to the consumer, remediated more than 60% of the issues identified with audits, worked with Ofgem to create a dedicated call centre for affected households, and improved the quality assurance and consumer protection systems currently in place. 

    By stamping out bad practice and reforming the broken system inherited by the government, the plans aim to restore families’ trust in the retrofit industry and give them confidence that work will be completed to a high standard. 

    The changes mark the latest step to support families as government accelerates the drive for clean power to protect billpayers from the fossil fuel rollercoaster. 

    By bringing forward the biggest investment in warm homes in British history – including making plug-in solar available in shops, giving homeowners living in properties heated by oil and LPG £9,000 off the cost of a heat pump, and taking decisive action on delinking electricity prices from international as prices – the government is driving forward with plans to upgrade as many homes as possible to cut bills.

    Adam Scorer, CEO, National Energy Action, and Retrofit System Reform Advisory Panel member, said: 

    Strengthening consumer protections for home upgrades is an essential step toward homes that are more affordable to heat and that make people healthier. I welcome a reform agenda considered through the experiences of more vulnerable households with less market power and who stand to benefit most from government support.

    Gillian Cooper, Director of Energy at Citizens Advice, and Retrofit System Reform Advisory Panel member, said: 

    We welcome the commitment to right-first-time installations and a simpler customer journey. Providing routes to impartial advice and redress where needed will give consumers confidence to adopt vital retrofit measures.

    Charlotte Lee, CEO at Heat Pump Association UK, and Retrofit System Reform Advisory Panel member, said: 

    We welcome these proposals as a positive step towards strengthening consumer protection and building confidence in the transition to low-carbon heating. As the heat pump market continues to grow, it is essential that consumers can rely on high standards, clear accountability and effective support should issues arise. 

    The proposed reforms have the potential to improve oversight, strengthen quality assurance and create a more joined-up approach to consumer protection across the sector.  

    Better use of data and clearer delivery obligations should also help identify issues earlier and drive continuous improvement across the supply chain. Consumer trust is fundamental to the successful rollout of heat pumps, and these measures represent an important opportunity to improve customer outcomes while supporting the growth of a high-quality, resilient market.

    Brian Berry, Chief Executive of the Federation of Master Builders and Retrofit System Reform Advisory Panel member, said: 

    The retrofit market is a confusing landscape for both consumers and trades. The government’s proposals to improve consumer protection are a welcome step forward most notably the consideration to make more trades and related occupations subject to more government oversight. Greater oversight will offer the best protection to consumers and help drive out incompetent installers.

    Lynne Sullivan, OBE, Chair of National Retrofit Hub and Retrofit System Reform Advisory Panel member, said:  

    The NRH welcomes the comprehensive analysis and scope of the proposed reforms as well as government’s willingness to play a pivotal role; clarity of responsibilities is key to improving customer experience of the retrofit journey, and should become the norm for the retrofit market.

    Anthony Pygram, member of the Committee on Fuel Poverty, and Retrofit System Reform Advisory Panel member, said: 

    People who struggle to pay for their energy need to be confident that retrofit measures and their installers are trustworthy and, if things do go wrong, they will not lose out. This consultation is an important step in the right direction.

    Ed Dodman, Chief Ombudsman for Energy Ombudsman, said: 

    The measures announced today by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero represent a positive step forward in enhancing consumer protections and reinforcing high standards across the energy sector. In an essential market such as energy, it’s vital that the right steps continue to be taken to strengthen trust, accountability and outcomes for consumers. 

    Strengthening the role of Energy Ombudsman and making the process faster will ensure consumers can not only have quicker access to redress but also have the confidence that issues will be resolved effectively. 

    There is still work to be done, and we look forward to continuing to work collaboratively with government, the regulator, suppliers and stakeholders to ensure the system delivers fair, timely and accessible outcomes for all.

  • PRESS RELEASE : OSCE remains vital to tell truths and hold each other to account – UK statement to the OSCE [June 2026]

    PRESS RELEASE : OSCE remains vital to tell truths and hold each other to account – UK statement to the OSCE [June 2026]

    The press release issued by the Foreign Office on 17 June 2026.

    Speaking at the Annual Security Review Conference (ASRC), Director of Defence and International Security, Ben Fender, reconfirms support for Ukraine, condemnation for Russia’s war and looks ahead to the UK simultaneously chairing two key OSCE security forums later this year.

    Thank you, Chair and Secretary-General, for your leadership in difficult times.

    This meeting is our annual moment to take stock of security in the Euro-Atlantic area.

    There have been moments of light.  The year has seen voters in Armenia, Hungary and Moldova defeat interference in their democracy.  Real steps towards peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan.  Ukraine and Moldova open a new chapter in their relations with the EU.

    But Russia’s unprovoked, illegal war against Ukraine is now in its fifth year.  A war that has now gone on longer than the First World War, longer than the Soviet role in the Second World War.  About which our Russian colleague knows so many facts.  And of course we should not count the days of Russia’s aggression from 2022 but 2014, or earlier.

    We stand, as always, in solidarity with Ukraine and its people, who have suffered so much.

    The Kremlin gains nothing by continuing.  Every month that passes leaves 35,000 Russian soldiers dead or injured.  Russia’s economy in worse decline, its young people denied opportunity.   Its army ever more reliant on North Korea, Iran and China.

    On Sunday, Russia’s target was the monastery of the Dormition, dating back to the 11th Century.  The same night two state cinema organisations.  And a well-known art institution, the Mistetski Arsenalna.  Three years ago, I saw for myself the Transfiguration Cathedral in Odesa, another World Heritage Site, with a hole in the ceiling where a missile had hit.  Icons in tatters.  Prayer stalls under the rubble.

    Putin’s war is not just against Ukraine but its culture. And against the civilisation of all of us.  But it is also a war that is making Ukraine’s identify, its resolve, stronger than ever.  And our resolve too. What history should have taught our Russia colleague is that the will of peoples to defend their freedom and security will always be stronger than the will of those who want to take it away.

    The threats posed by the war are not limited to Ukraine.  Russia is eroding norms we all benefit from by its routine use of intermediate-range ballistic missiles and its strikes against civilian populations.  Last week, a drone hit the Chornobyl fuel store – a nuclear site, in the exclusion zone, far from any military activity, on the border of Belarus.  Days before, a Russian drone hit a tower block in a city in Romania.  Many of our countries have been the victim of acts of Russian sabotage.  Poland, of a cyber attack on its energy infrastructure.  Barely a week goes by without reckless behaviour by Russian jets.

    Helsinki principles remain, as they have for half a century, a beacon of hope and stability.  They need upholding, not changing.  The OSCE remains a vital place where we can tell truths and hold each other to account.

    We are confident that the arc of history will bend toward justice.  Ukraine has stopped Russia’s advances.  Allies have never been more generous with their support.

    As the current Chair of the Security Committee, the UK has sought to uphold OSCE principles and support Ukraine, and other victims, of Putin’s war.  Exposed the growing hybrid threats – on which the OSCE should do more.  As it should help states to tackle illegal migration.

    In September, we look forward to taking on the Chair of the Forum for Security Co-operation.  Our priorities will be to support these OSCE principles and support Ukraine, hold Russia to account, and promote responsible security management.

    Chair, it will be an honour for us to chair both formal committees of the OSCE’s Pol-Mil Dimension and we look forward to working with you all. Thank you.

  • PRESS RELEASE : Violent gang members’ sentences increased after attempted murder [June 2026]

    PRESS RELEASE : Violent gang members’ sentences increased after attempted murder [June 2026]

    The press release issued by the Attorney General’s Office on 17 June 2026.

    Solicitor General secures increased sentences for three gang members in Camden stabbing.

    Kye Regis, Celyse Knight and Khalil Haidara, who were convicted of attempted murder, had their detention sentences increased by four, five and four years respectively, after the Solicitor General Ellie Reeves KC MP referred their case to the Court of Appeal under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme.

    The court heard that in Camden, North London three members of the locally based Agar Grove gang, Regis, Knight and Haidara, attacked a rival gang member Omar Greaves, on 1 November 2024. All three attackers were carrying knifes and pinned down Greaves before stabbing him five times. Greaves was taken to hospital where he received life-saving surgery and recovered.

    Regis and Knight were involved in two further incidents, before they were arrested. On 9 November 2024, they assaulted another rival gang member. Following this attack all three offenders were remanded into custody. Then on 30 December 2024 while in custody Knight attacked another prisoner with a metal bar.

    The Solicitor General Ellie Reeves MP said:

    Gang-based violence has a devastating impact on the safety of our streets. Regis, Knight and Haidara are dangerous repeat offenders who targeted rival gang members, attempted to commit murder, and continued to act violently before being taken into custody.

    I welcome the court’s decision to increase all three sentences following my referral. As Solicitor General, I will do everything I can to support the government in trying to protect the public and tackle the scourge of knife crime and gang-based violence in our towns and cities.

    On 19 December 2025 at Central Crown Court:

    • Kye Regis was sentenced to 15 years’ detention for one count of attempted murder, one count of possession of a bladed article and one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
    • Celyse Knight was sentenced to 12 years’ detention for one count of attempted murder, one count of possession of a bladed article, one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and one count of unlawful wounding.
    • Khalil Haidara was sentenced to 13 years’ detention for one count of attempted murder and one count of possession of a bladed article.

    On Thursday 11 June 2026 at the Court of Appeal:

    • Kye Regis’s sentence for one count of attempted murder was increased to 18 years, resulting in a total sentence of 19 years’ detention.
    • Celyse Knight’s sentence for one count of attempted murder was increased to 14 years and 6 months’ detention. The sentences for one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and one count of unlawful wounding were also adjusted to run consecutively, bringing the total sentence to 17 years’ detention.
    • Khalil Haidara’s sentence for one count of attempted murder was increased to a total of 17 years’ detention.
  • Keir Starmer – 2026 Comments on Companies Avoiding Sanctions Regime

    Keir Starmer – 2026 Comments on Companies Avoiding Sanctions Regime

    The comments made by Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister, on 17 June 2026.

    Those who seek to evade our sanctions regime and support Putin’s cronies should be in no doubt, we will come after you.

    It is vital we support Ukraine and continue to ramp up pressure on Russia, as every pound flowing into Putin’s war chest is being used to fuel conflict in Europe and undermine our security.

  • PRESS RELEASE : UK issues largest penalty for financial sanctions breaches since Russia’s 2022 illegal invasion of Ukraine [June 2026]

    PRESS RELEASE : UK issues largest penalty for financial sanctions breaches since Russia’s 2022 illegal invasion of Ukraine [June 2026]

    The press release issued by 10 Downing Street on 17 June 2026.

    The United Kingdom has imposed its largest ever penalty for a breach of Russian financial sanctions since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

    • UK travel technology firm fined more than £1 million for breaching UK financial sanctions against Russia.
    • Sabre Global Technologies Limited made funds and economic resources available to a designated Russian airline for seven months in 2022, and tested alternative payment routes to get around UK sanctions.
    • Third penalty issued under OFSI’s new settlement policy, as the UK continues ironclad support of Ukraine.

    The £1 million fine has been levied against a technology firm – Sabre Global Technologies Limited (SGTL) – that repeatedly breached UK financial sanctions.  

    The action by the Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI) – part of HM Treasury – underlines the UK’s increasingly robust enforcement of the Russia sanctions regime in support of Ukraine and sends clear compliance lessons to industry.

    The penalty is also the first issued by OFSI for a circumvention offence, and comes as the UK steps up enforcement action on those seeking to evade our sanctions regime. 

    SGTL, which provides travel technology services, continued to provide Russian carrier Ural Airlines access to its Global Distribution System service for seven months after it was designated by the UK in May 2022. SGTL was notified of the designation on the day it took effect.

    After payments to its UK bank were blocked for sanctions concerns, SGTL explored alternative ways of receiving payments from Ural Airlines.

    This included asking Ural Airlines to send a test payment to a non-UK SGTL bank account, intending for future settlements to be routed through this account. This amounted to circumvention of UK sanctions.

    Prime Minister Keir Starmer said:

    Those who seek to evade our sanctions regime and support Putin’s cronies should be in no doubt, we will come after you.

    It is vital we support Ukraine and continue to ramp up pressure on Russia, as every pound flowing into Putin’s war chest is being used to fuel conflict in Europe and undermine our security.

    Chancellor Rachel Reeves said:

    Our support for Ukraine is ironclad.

    This largest ever penalty for breaches of financial sanctions since Russia’s 2022 illegal invasion sends a clear message – we will take decisive action against those who break UK financial sanctions and help fund Russia’s war machine.

    The UK alone has sanctioned more than 3300 individuals, businesses and ships under the Russia sanctions regime.

    This latest action follows sanctions packages in May which targeted the infrastructure underpinning Russia’s war economy, including crypto exchanges and maritime services.

    SGTL has been fined a total of £1,000,920.59 for breaches of the Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019.
