Big pharma companies already make huge profits from the NHS.

Even more money will now flow into the pockets of super-rich shareholders, likely at the expense of other parts of the health sector. This is a disaster for the UK.

“We have kicked up enough of a stink and they have given in. This is the price you have to pay post-Trump for global pharma to continue to play in the UK”

Big pharma thrives on domination, bullying and exclusion. The NHS was built on exactly the opposite principles. Let’s take this opportunity to extend the values with which we administer our medicines to the way we produce them.

What leaders do between now and 2030 will shape our collective future. A Fossil Fuel Treaty offers a clear, coordinated plan to transition away from fossil fuels, addressing the world’s dangerous dependence on them while ensuring a phaseout that leaves no worker, community or country behind.

The recognition of Palestinian statehood is long overdue, but without meaningful action to hold Israel to account, the UK’s actions are insufficient.

The UK has leverage: it must impose comprehensive, Russia-style economic sanctions and ban arms sales.

Trump is dead wrong.

Oil and gas won’t lower bills or provide secure energy.

He’s peddling a dangerous lie that only benefits his oil industry backers.
