Protect Brexit. Support Gaza Slaughter. Punch Down on Vulnerable:
THREE STRIKES.
It's taken the mainstream media long enough to pick up on this (FT too).
RW Press/BBC are, of course, ignoring it.

Britain, for the first time in history, has lost sovereignty over the prices its own health service pays for drugs.

A Brexit consequence.

"Trump’s strategy has echoes of extreme right-wing tropes from 1930s"

Trump's tariff regime is similar to a well-acknowledged contributing trigger for WWII.
