Jeremy loves vegetables, but Boris loves dogs. Oh dear, the British are dog-crazy, only one winner there. I can feel @Penna shifting her vote as we speak.

Looks like the Labour vote is doing the same as last time. In which case we're perhaps heading for another stalemate.
And honestly, we might face that issue for a while longer. With the Corbynite left and Johnson's anti-EU nutcase right in charge of their respective parties, I really don't see any major swings in the vote share from one party to the other. When Wilson won with Labour in 64, he only had a majority of 4 MPs. So he had a snap election 18 months later and had a majority of almost 100. That kind of thing appears impossible as things stand. And with FPTP all but guaranteeing no new entrants to disrupt the system, we could be stuck here for several more elections.
This is scandalous, how does he keep appearing on this show:
So if I understand this correctly, there would be pressure for the UK to recognise drug patents for longer than current EU regulations, which would allow US drug companies to maintain their patents for longer which would then cause the NHS to have to purchase more branded drugs than generic drugs if those branded drugs come from US companies ?
Is that correct ??
If so, then it would certainly end up more expensive than the current NHS drug spend, but is hardly an NHS Privatisation when compared to all the other privatised services in the NHS already, such as cleaning, laundry, PFI contracts for hospitals, agency nurses and medical staff, procurement, catering, and the biggest of them all, the UK's GPs and Consultants who are all self-employed and contract / invoice their services to the NHS.
Bringing some of these services back ' in-house ' and paying off those crazy PFI contracts would probably cover the additional cost of purchasing drugs from US companies and more, but I'm open to correction.
And I remember a few years ago when The Sun and Mail put articles up about Corbyn 'dancing' on Remembrance Sunday, cutting out the WW2 veteran he was walking and talking to. Article from a former member about it.The massive bias from the media doesn't help. Look at this for instance.
If you thought islamic ray guns were bad just look at what the leader of the opposition is wearing
"islamic jihad scarf"
"islamic jihad scarf"
That's one strand, the other is to undermine VPAS and the whole notion of collective bargaining and the setting of a maximum price for barter (the price cap).
I've only linked the portion of the report relating to drug pricing. That doesn't represent the entirity of US economic aims in the area. Here are some more:
NHS Confederation said:
Of course all these things are dependent on the willingness of the UK to make concessions, but this leads back to who has the greatest need of a deal in this scenario and who holds the competitive advantage.

Always laugh hearing British people go on about terrorists like the British army and the British empire aren't some of the biggest war mongering terrorists the world has ever known.
Worse is the clown in the video will be a Tory whose manifesto promises this: Military veterans will be given new legal protection to prevent them being prosecuted over killings during The Troubles, in a pledge to be made in the Conservative Party manifesto.
But tell me again who the terrorist sympathiser is
Jesus, what a car crash. People rarely seem to pay much attention though, at the last general election there was so much talk about the costings of Labour's manifesto being crazy but little about how the conservatives didn't even bother to cost theirs.
Nigel Farage tells Eddie Mair he will not refund dropped Brexit Party candidates
We asked a hundred members of the British public.But tell me again who the terrorist sympathiser is
And our survey said
It's...
Yeah it's madness. Still heard a few people mention it. They say they don't want to vote Labour because they don't know where the money is coming from. I say it's in the manifesto. They ask what it says there. Surely if it's their issue they should be looking? Obviously they just want it to be an issue. They don't want the answers.
If this was Dianne Abbott, she’d be ridiculed by every newspaper for years, and seen as incompetent at the very mention of her name.
This will of course be forgotten by the end of today.
Islamaphobia is apparently acceptable.
I'm already extremely sick of the propaganda and I'm not even back in the UK yet.
While Boris bumbles around the country like Orinoco from the Wombles, Jeremy finds himself embroiled in a jazz hands scandal. It's all happening in The Country Formerly Known As Merrie England.
Seems like a top bloke.
Don't worry I'm sure Laura K and the rest of the BBC will dutifully tell us his background any minute now.....any minute now...

tbf, Corbyn is dressed up as a Womble too.
"This is him here"
Thing is why would any UK government agree to this? That's what I don't understand. In any negotiation if there terms from the other side that you cannot agree to you don't have to sign the deal.

Pam and her five friends, not heard that gag since I was at school.
This is the only tweet she has made on this topic, a retweet of this. She's a fecking joke.
We don't have any real leverage to hold over the US though, do we? The Tories have been talking up potential deals with the US - for them to then fall apart would be a PR embarrassment. That's more likely when you consider Trump approaches political dealings like business transactions in which he has to not only get favourable terms but win outright.
Islamic Jihad Scarf 
And so the next concocted outrage against Corbyn will be..... *checks notes*...... his support for international law.
Also didn't al-Baghdadi blow himself up before being captured? I don't see how Corbyn is questioning the US account here.

A greater PR embarrassment than agreeing to pay substantially more for medicines? I'm not saying it could never happen, but I remain to be convinced.
Australia signed a what seems to be (I obviously don't know intricate details, but seems generally well received on both sides) a good free trade deal with the US and they are a much smaller economy than we are. I think in general free trade deals are overrated, especially for a service economy such as ours, but all the pointers suggest that we could get something mutually beneficial with the US. As I say Trump likes the anglosphere, he's actively trying to get more visas allocated to the Irish apropos of nothing.
They let Burgon on the telly again
No affiliation at all.
I wish Labour had a serious Tony Blair/David Milliband type leader in this election. I think the country is in a really delicate position and needs a proper conversation, and the presence of Corbyn is making this whole thing a bit of a joke.
People who can’t even win leadership elections within their own family = serious electable leader material
I swear centrists live in another fecking universe sometimes.

"Maybe we'd all like politics a lot more if it was actually just...2002?"
Remember when the media lost their shit about the 'Labour Activist' at the Hospital sticking it to Johnson? I'm sure they will address this with the same due diligence...
To be fair his family got to see him up close. Centrists only have years of lies, incompetence, distortion, corruption, and general buffoonery to judge him on. And they see themselves in him.
Genuine question - How do you think Britain got itself into this ''delicate position'' and how can it get out ?
