The UK Government said the NHS would never be on the table in a trade deal with Trump. But that’s exactly what’s about to happen. It looks like they’re about to agree a deal with the US that will see the NHS forced to pay BILLIONS more for medicines.

The Government has taken an axe to NHS price controls, given in to bullying by Trump and Big Pharma, and now sneaked this shameful press release out (which apparently had to be passed by the White House) just before Easter weekend. 🧵 gov.uk/government/new…

There must be more scrutiny of our pharma agreement with the US. Trump is strong-arming the UK into accepting massive price rises, writes Independent MP @iqbalmohamedMP politicshome.com/opinion/articl…

My article in PoliticsHome ⬇️ politicshome.com/opinion/articl… The UK-US pharma deal is woefully short-sighted. It risks costing the NHS billions, undermining NICE’s independence, and pushing up medicine prices under pressure from Trump's bullying and Big Pharma's lobbying. The result will be thousands of lives unnecessary lost. Parliament must have its say. Transparency is non-negotiable. @DHSCgovuk #NHS

"This is not about significantly increasing NHS access to medicines; it is about agreeing to get worse value for money from pharma companies." Our campaigner @TimBierley on the US-UK pharma deal 👇🏽 courthousenews.com/uk-deal-to-boo…

NEW: We, alongside 20+ civil society groups are calling on Keir Starmer to publish documents relating to major UK-US technology and trade agreements negotiated while Lord Mandelson served as UK Ambassador to the United States. globaljustice.org.uk/news/public-in…

This is how appeasement of Trump affects you. UK Govt will pay 25% more to US companies for NHS drugs, bigger corporate profits. UK to Pay of another £7bn a year. Impact - Britons pay higher taxes, face cuts in public services, or face misery and premature death. 👇👇👇👇

Thank you to @johnmcdonnellMP @RachaelMaskell @RLong_Bailey @iqbalmohamedMP @SeamusLoganMP @Tim_Roca & Warinder Juss MP for joining our event w/ @GlobalJusticeUK in Parliament last night, and showing concern about the UK-US pharma deal which will hike NHS drug prices.

Geoffrey Cox: stop helping fossil fuel giants hold the UK to ransom! Our activists headed down to MP @Geoffrey_Cox's legal firm this AM. Cox is legal counsel for fossil fuel investors suing the UK over the quashed Cumbria mine. Why is he prioritising investors over the public?

"The government is refusing to give the public or MPs any useful information about the true costs of this deal. "With all this secrecy, you have to wonder: what have ministers got to hide?" Our campaigner @TimBierley quoted in @guardian 👇🏽 theguardian.com/society/2026/j…

My colleague @TimBierley quoted here on the dreadful US-UK Pharma deal 👇 Trump asked the government to hand over billions more of our tax money to Big Pharma companies - and ministers agreed. Now they won’t even let us see their calculations. theguardian.com/society/2026/j…

Giving in to President Donald Trump’s demands for higher payments would be a “huge backward step”, the new head of England’s medicines watchdog has said. We can't let Trump and Big Pharma hold our NHS to ransom! ft.com/content/4a9035…

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. This secrecy is a danger to our NHS theguardian.com/society/2026/j…

The government has given in to Trump, handed billions from the NHS budget to Big Pharma - and won’t even give us their the true long term costs. Great piece 👇 I’ll be meeting MPs tomorrow to plan the fight back. theguardian.com/society/2026/j…

I believe the Israelis are very happy with Blair’s appointment. Why wouldn’t they be? Great to have another war criminal who has zero regard for international law administering the scene of Israel’s crimes. But it’s not just Blair 🧵

Today our message to Starmer is loud and clear: scrap the £3bn Trump tax on our NHS and put that money into social care now. @libdemdaisy

The government is ready to give big pharma a massive pay rise, but doctors only deserve abuse it seems. My colleague @TimBierley 👇 lbc.co.uk/article/govern…

Spot on @TimBierley First we fought high US drug prices to access cystic fibrosis drugs for my younger daughter. Now, US pharma will get BILLIONS more, while my older daughter (med student) & piers are insulted & paid <£20/hour. Make it make sense 🤬 lbc.co.uk/article/govern…
