"Invest in our NHS, not corporate profiteering", campaigners say ahead of Starmer's big pharma meeting - Global Justice Now Ahead of Starmer’s meeting with pharmaceutical companies on Wednesday, Tim Bierley, campaigns and policy manager at Global Justice Now said: Our government has already given in to big pharma and […]

As Starmer prepares to meet with some of the world’s biggest pharmaceutical companies, it’s time we stop feeding the industry’s feverish demands for higher prices and invest in our NHS, not corporate profiteering.

Trump’s ambassador to UK rebukes head of medicines watchdog over drug pricing Warren Stephens calls in Nice chief to express displeasure at Jonathan Benger’s defence of Britain’s cost-control system

Our government has already given in to big pharma and Trump’s NHS shakedown. And where has that led us?

No promise of returned investment, demands for more money, and Trump’s team now haranguing public officials to further weaken our price controls.

Write to your MP: stop big pharma’s NHS raid The UK government has agreed a deal with Donald Trump that could see the NHS pay pharma companies an extra £3 billion a year for drugs. Experts say that diverting NHS funding to pay for this deal woul...

TAKE ACTION: email your MP urging them to stand up against the bullying tactics of Trump and defend the NHS!

The pharma deal with the US is woefully short-sighted There must be more scrutiny of our pharma agreement with the US. Trump is strong-arming the UK into accepting massive price rises.

"Parliament must have the final say over whether we’ll accept Trump and big pharma’s bullying. If we give in this time around, they'll only be coming back for more."

Brilliant from MP Iqbal Mohamed for @thehousemag.bsky.social 👏🏽

UK slashes climate aid programmes for developing countries Exclusive: Schemes worth hundreds of millions of pounds to protect biodiversity and oceans likely to be substantially reduced

Cutting climate finance would be a massive betrayal to countries on the frontlines of the climate crisis.

We alongside 84 other organisations have written to the government to ask it to increase climate funding - and pay for it by taxing fossil fuel producers 👇🏼

Some fantastic speakers lined up for our Resisting Big Tech Empires event.

Alongside local campaigners, we discussed the damaging system of corporate courts that Cox is propping up through his lucrative second job, and how to raise more awareness locally about this conflict with his role to act in the interest of his constituents – not fossil capital.

North Devon MP Geoffrey Cox is acting as the lawyer for foreign investors suing the UK over the scrapped mine.

Hands Off Iran.

Britain must clearly oppose the US and Israel’s illegal aggression and refrain from any action which supports the attacks

US-UK tech talks restart with focus on nuclear projects Deal to collaborate on atomic energy, AI and quantum computing was paused as part of wider trade wrangling

Starmer appeasing Trump again, deepening his trade pact & building on his watering down of nuclear standards last September

Risking nuclear safety at the service of tech barons is a terrible idea. Working with Trump on a ‘nuclear golden age’ is just 🤯

Text reads: For more than 77 years, the Palestinian people have confronted and resisted a permanent Israeli regime of settler-colonialism, apartheid and genocide. Today, those crimes continue - enabled by an international infrastructure of courts and ports, foundries and factories, parliaments and tech platforms, insurers and investors. To end the ongoing Nabka, we must cut there circuits of complicity.

The Palestinian peoples' resistance to settler-colonialism, apartheid and genocide continues.

To end the Nabka we must work internationally to cut the circuits of complicity enabled by international institutions and corporations.
