Well, well ...
Hi Michael,
I hope you're well. Do let me know if you'd like to hear more from Nayan on this, or any related topics.
Yeah, yeah. Get on with it!
Nayan Gala, founder of UK-India investment banking platform, JPIN, explains why a trade deal between both nations is critical for economic growth ...
Fuelled by surging energy prices, the increased value of imports, and weak export performance, the UK trade gap widened to a near record-high in the three months to July, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The data additionally revealed that trade deficit in goods and services rose from £1.2 billion to £27 billion during this period, compared to the previous quarter - reaching a near all-time high. This comes as Liz Truss begins to carry out her duties, with the newly announced prime minister expressing her commitment to pull Britain out of its -
Okay, okay. Christ.
What does our Nayan actually say? Come on!
Nayan Gala, investment specialist and founder of JPIN, explains why a UK-India trade deal is critical for Britain's economic growth:
"The newly released ONS data outlines the need for the UK government to forge new trade partnerships in order to reduce the deficit. Post-Brexit, there are a wealth of opportunities that can be found beyond Europe, with India seeming to be the current focus."
There is no "wealth of opportunities", man, but I'll let it go.
Please continue.
"At a time when economies around the world are facing significant macro-economic headwinds, the importance of increased trade collaboration between countries is really coming to the fore. We could be just a few months away from seeing a lucrative free trade agreement being signed by the UK and India, which stands to significantly benefit both sides.
"A Diwali deadline has been set, and there don't appear to be many stumbling blocks that would prevent this from materializing. The UK-India relationship already supports 110,000 jobs in the UK, and foreign investment into Britain from India was worth £10.6bn in 2020, but this could just be the beginning of an even more fruitful relationship. It would also mark one of the biggest and most important steps in the post-Brexit era."
Okay, okay. Fair enough.
Thanks, Nayan!
If you have any further questions, or if you'd like to speak to Nayan, please don't hesitate to reach out - I'd be happy to set up an exclusive interview.
Kind Regards,
Chloe
No, no, no. Thank you, Chloe, but I don't want to be interviewed. My manager has advised me to be the mysterious type - like Prince, you know? 'Your manager?' That's you, Voice, you idiot! 'Oh, of course! / Am I getting twenty percent?'
Ha! No - is the short answer.
People will think I'm insane if I give twenty percent of my earnings to a disembodied voice from the astral plane.
Do you know what I mean?

Anything else?
I haven't done the dumbbells for over a week because I hurt my shoulder, but I will try starting again today - with the lighter dumbbells.
I've improved Love Me by not repeating the chorus at the end. It's thirty seconds shorter now at 3.00 - roughly.
It's a super-cool pop song!
I've been listening to Round The Bend. That's a super-cool rock song at 2.54.
I've got to write the lyric for the 2.20 tune. That will be a super-cool pop song.
And, uh ...
'So ... what are you saying, boss?'
I'm saying, Voice, and kooks ... the pressure is off with my BIG TEN ... and maybe I can write a load of these short songs ...
Because I really like them, you dig?
Laters!
