British jobs for British workers and electing the new Pope

from The Daily T

The UK and India have agreed to the terms of a free trade deal, set to be Britain’s largest since Brexit. Yet, controversial tax breaks could exempt Indian migrants from paying National Insurance for the next three years, a move that critics are calling ‘pro-immigration’. And catholics wait for the sign of white smoke as cardinals gather behind the Vatican’s closed doors to choose the next pope. Despite the unpredictability of the conclave, there are some candidates emerging as favourites with eleven main contenders and the chosen cardinal is widely expected to carry on Pope Francis’s agenda of progressive politics when elected. From St Peter’s Square, The Telegraph’s Tim Stanley speaks with Camilla and Kamal on the frontrunners, the history of the ritual and whether the electors might be watching the Oscar-winning film Conclave for research. Producer: Georgia CoanProduction assistance from Oliver Macnaughton and Lina AdamsPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyExecutive Producer: Louisa WellsSocial Media Producer: James SimmonsVideo Editor: Valerie BrowneStudio Operator: Meghan SearleEditor: Camilla Tominey Hosted on Acast.
