Politics LIVE: Keir Starmer to face huge grilling in press conference at 12.30pm
Sir Keir Starmer will host a press conference at 12.30pm where he is likely to face questions about China spy row and digital IDs.
The event follows face-to-face talks with Narendra Modi on the second and final day of Sir Keir's trade mission to India.
Alongside the new trade deal between the two nations, the two prime ministers are expected to discuss the Indian leader’s relationship with Russia and the long-term detention of a British citizen.
Sir Keir has so far declined to answer questions about Mr Modi’s close relationship with Mr Putin, and India’s continued purchase of Russian fossil fuels during his visit to Mumbai.
Western nations who back Ukraine are attempting to tighten the screw of sanctions on Russia’s so-called “shadow fleet” of ships, which it uses to illicitly sell oil and gas.
