UK's John­son, Cor­byn bick­er over US trade and Ver­tex deal

As an­oth­er UK elec­tion beck­ons, prime min­is­ter Boris John­son and op­po­si­tion leader Je­re­my Cor­byn en­gaged in yet an­oth­er dust­up about the state of the Na­tion­al Health Ser­vice (NHS) in the last round of Prime Min­is­ter’s Ques­tions presided by leg­endary out­go­ing speak­er John Bercow.

Cor­byn ac­cused John­son and his gov­ern­ment of con­duct­ing ‘se­cret meet­ings’ with US phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal ex­ec­u­tives as part of a post-Brex­it trade deal, cit­ing re­ports in­clud­ing Chan­nel 4 dis­patch­es that re­port­ed on Tues­day that the price the NHS pays for US med­i­cines could soar un­der a fu­ture trade deal.
