UK must reform drug pricing to become life sciences superpower, says GSK boss Shares jump on higher profits as Emma Walmsley is ‘hopeful’ standoff with NHS can be resolved

UK must reform drug pricing to become life sciences superpower, says GSK boss.

This is big pharma doublespeak. They want 25% hike in NHS drugs prices to boost their profits. Govt ready to capitulate.

People will pay higher taxes, or forego treatment.

Govt must manufacture generic drugs.

This is what I’ve been banging on about in the mornings over the last two days…BBC Shortbread is simply corrupt and despicable!

Workers rights bill & living wage rise 'will lead to a jobs bloodbath In its Employment Rights Bill, Labour has also proposed introducing nine-month legal 'probation' periods to address concerns, but the think-tank said this was a 'messy compromise'.

Personal allowance frozen since 2021. More pensioners caught in tax and poverty trap, recieve unexpected tax bills.

Female survivors of grooming gangs demand apology from Nigel Farage Exclusive: Five women said Reform leader’s comments that they were victims of other types of sexual abuse were ‘degrading’

Too many people including senior politicians are using the grooming gangs scandal to make cheap political points & not caring abt victims of horrendous abuse. Step forward Nigel Farage who has been asked by female survivors of grooming gangs to apologise. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

I’m told Labour MPs have been told by whips to *abstain* in the vote on Nigel Farage’s ten-min rule bill on leaving the ECHR, which has left some furious. Whips’ arguments seems to be to just ignore it. Labour MPs worry it leaves Lib Dems/Greens looking like only they care on this.

Labour doesn't want to build a 'new state' - it has been persuaded by the Big Tech backed Tony Blair Institute that it should outsource the state to Big Tech.

This is a catastrophe in the making. Here's how to tell the PM what you think: action.goodlawproject.org/tell-keir-st...
