Xann Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Quote Theresa May has refused to rule out giving US companies access to NHS contracts as part of a future trade deal with Donald Trump’s White House. At prime minister’s questions on Wednesday, the Liberal Democrat leader, Vince Cable, challenged May over how she would respond if Washington pushed for access to Britain’s public services for US corporations. “The prime minister knows that one of the key objectives of American trade negotiators in any future deal after Brexit is to secure access for American companies to business in the NHS,” he said. “Can she give an absolute guarantee that in those negotiations the NHS will be excluded from their scope? And can she confirm that in her conversations with President Trump she’s made it absolutely clear to him that the NHS is not for sale?” The prime minister refused to do so, instead insisting that Cable, a former business secretary, “doesn’t know what they’re going to say in their requirements for that free trade agreement. We will go into those negotiations to get the best possible deal for the United Kingdom.” Afterwards May’s press secretary repeatedly refused to comment further. He stressed that as part of TTIP, the US-EU trade deal that has never been finalised, the UK had secured exemptions to ensure the NHS could not be targeted. However, he would not rule out, in principle, US private sector involvement in the NHS in future. Grauniad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was more talking internally within the Tory Party. A leadership election is needed, if it leads to a massive schism, so be it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted February 9, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) A leadership election won't change anything, and possibly make it worse imo, astonishingly. Edited February 9, 2018 by Chindie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on how you define that I guess Relentlessly botching (at best, willfully **** up at worst) one of the most important political decisions in our history has to put some weight behind them being truly terrible. If they had red ties we wouldn't even have a debate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Chancellor, he presided over the longest period of sustained economic growth ever. As Prime Minister , he took up the challenge of the Global banking crisis and prevented what could have been a total meltdown. Compared to the utter idiots in charge of the disaster that is upon us now, he looks like a rock of competence. Having met him, and listened to him, I can honestly say he is one of the warmest and most caring politicians one could hope to meet. Pity he isn’t still PM. Wouldn’t be suffering the shit storm were having now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Herbert Asquith wonders why he's been ignored if deaths during pointless wars is a criterion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
