Donald Trump’s signed a trade deal with the UK – and now he’s demanding more. His latest ask?
Let US pharma hike up medicine prices, costing our NHS £1.5 billion more.

Our NHS is already in crisis – it needs funding, not more privatisation.
We can’t let Trump drain even more money from our health service.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting is deciding how to respond – so now’s our chance to push back and stop Trump's demands before it's too late. Please add your name to the petition now:

Our NHS is not for sale: keep it out of Trump's trade deal

So the UK Met Office is inviting people to suggest up to 5 names for storms. And apparently lots of people have been suggesting "Storm Bigoil", along with BP, Equinor, Exxon & Shell... This is obviously appalling & definitely not to be emulated via this link:

@GeofCox trans (if extrapolated from % of population):10 times underrepresented
Police (if extrapolated from % of population) 10 times overrepresented. So lets have trans people police police officers from now on. Makes more sense. #transrightsarehumanrights
