US-UK drug trade may cause 229,000 deaths in England
A UK-US trade deal, aimed at avoiding US tariffs on British medicines, is projected to divert nearly £45 billion from NHS services by 2036, potentially causing over 200,000 preventable deaths in England.

Critics argue the agreement prioritizes pharmaceutical profits and foreign diplomacy over patient care, with some demanding transparency and assessment of its long-term health impacts.
