Sounds like good stuff this, could prove particularly valuable after the Iran conflict is over.
Unfortunately for Starmer this also reinforces his issue, not even a peep about this on BBC.

Can anybody with knowledge expand on this bit;
enable UK companies to store and process data outside the region for the first time ever, which will save businesses money on setting up costly data centres in the Gulf.
Doesn’t sound like a good idea for the average uk citizen

Labours worst enemy, is Labours PR team.
The amount of good they have done gets buried. 99.9% of the UK have no idea about anything good Labour has done.

>Keir Starmer has struck a trade deal with six Gulf states…The deal will offer £3.7bn worth of opportunities for exporters…in the food and luxury car sectors but also defence, aerospace, hospitality and other services.
>The National Farmers’ Union (NFU) of England and Wales said it was the best agricultural deal since the UK left the EU
>The British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) said it would create new business for firms in financial services, energy, construction, professional services, education, hospitality and technology.
>William Bain, the head of trade policy at the BCC, said the deal offered great potential to expand trade in the region and would be “vital for tens of thousands of UK firms”.
>Tariffs will be removed from 93% of British goods sold in the six countries in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) trading bloc of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.
>Among the sectors that will face zero tariffs are food, medical equipment, defence, aerospace and advanced manufacturing…UK services, which account for 80% of the UK economy, will get “guaranteed access” to business in the six states.
Sounds promising. Not sure I like defence deals with countries that have such poor human rights records, but I don’t know any of the details and I presume there’s a lot of regulation over what we export to such nations.

People happy about this have implicitly agreed to hold their grumpiness about sportswashing in football, boxing, f1 and golf and would need to apologize to Qatar for having an issue with their bought world cup in 2022
If we’re agnostic about where money comes from at this point apparently
