The government said the NHS would never be on the table in a trade deal with Trump.

But now they've agreed a deal with the US to pay pharma much higher drugs prices - and they wont come clean on the details.

Starmer calls striking doctors' demands a "fantasy", but *at the same time* his govt is firming up a deal to pay big pharma £3bn more a year for medicines. Not more drugs, just higher prices, worse value for money.
