Starmer: Indo-Pacific deal important, but yield very small

Sir Keir Starmer says the government's Indo-Pacific trade deal is "important" but argues that the "yield is very small" in comparison to trade with the EU.

The Labour leader says "the rule in trade is that you're more likely to trade with your nearer neighbours more often", insisting a closer trading relationship with the EU is needed.
