🚨The UK-US pharma deal with Trump will cost 229,000 lives in England. The deal is so bad that the editor of the British Medical Journal says it suggests "We’ll kill our poor people to make your rich companies richer”. Dear Andy Burnham, tear up this deal as Prime Minister. Thank you.

Strange how the FT’s George Parker makes no mention of the scandal around Morgan McSweeney’s failure to disclose £730,000 in donations to Labour Together, the “thinktank” he ran. Parker ought really to have read Paul Holden’s The Fraud before heading for this pub lunch.

Oh… 2 Israeli companies developed technology to detect which Starlink terminal a user is connected to & use advert technology data to identify the users. Every state can buy the products, even Russia. Defeat that by disabling advert ID. Via @AnnaDeMilanese on X. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...
