Just a month ago the UK agreed to a deal in which the NHS has to pay £3bn a year more for US drugs.
The only thing we got was an agreement the UK would face no tariffs.
Today that deal has been broken by the USA.
The deal must be torn up and no money stolen from the NHS.

The ratio of day to night capsules in Lemsip is all off. When I'm ill I want to curl up in bed and sleep, not pump myself full of caffeine.

I see we've Tony Harrington's refereeing the game tonight - bar the last time we had him, at Man City, he's rather fond of giving Idrissa Gueye a card. One to watch, perhaps, as he'd been booked three times from the last four games Harrington's been in the middle.

It’s good to keep at least one clock that needs changing manually. Otherwise “they” could be changing the time all the time and we’d never know.
