The BBC tell me it was the hottest day of the year today, I think they have a thermometer in a box at Shepherd’s Bush. I can’t say I noticed and it’s now raining.

So let me get this right, Trump appoints nut job to Health and traders say “fold!” and bail out of pharmaceuticals because you know we won’t need them anymore?
