The Trump administration would like a trade deal with the UK to benefit America’s big healthcare companies.
That's why Labour tried to make it law that the NHS would be exempt from any future trade agreements.
The Tories voted it down.

Trump held an indoor rally in a megachurch in Phoenix Tuesday where young people sat shoulder to shoulder, almost all without face marks.
Phoenix is in Maricopa County which leads AZ in case and deaths- w/ 2,000 cases a day, eclipsing the NYC boroughs even on their worst days.
Sir Keir Starmer claimed at #PMQs that 600,000 more children are in poverty than in 2012, which is correct according to government data.
So Boris Johnson was incorrect to say that Mr Starmer is “completely wrong” about past trends in child poverty.

Just a reminder that the #NHS#trackingapp that's bitten the dust was being developed by a firm called Faculty, which was a VoteLeave AI firm and is run by a mate of #DominicCummings. The same firm is hoovering up Whitehall contracts. https://t.co/t3V7xWXJHJ
The government briefed a story overnight affecting over 2 million people shielding. It seems they didn’t tell NHS England’s national Director of Primary Care nor local GPs. An utterly irresponsible way to treat highly vulnerable people worried about their personal health.
It says a lot about the political culture in the UK that the only person who has faced any consequences for Dominic Cummings' actions is a journalist who pointed them out. https://t.co/azi0sguJYe
What an unmitigated mess. Govt summons parliament for Tuesday 2 June and lets remote voting and hybrid sessions lapse. It insists 650 MPs vote through narrow lobbies in 15 minutes without checking that this is COVID compliant. Public Health England declare the lobbies unsafe 1/4
Asked PM at @CommonsLiaison what Govt advice is now to parents with Covid19 who don’t have childcare nearby - to stay put or travel to be near childcare. Ministers aren’t giving clear answers as they want to protect PM’s advisor but they need to be clear for sake of public health
I’m stunned by this. Polling shows 70-80% of people assert that Cummings broke the rules.
@maitlis reflected that. Simple.
Contrast this with no reprimand of @bbclaurak activism on behalf of Cummings.
This is Govt bullying of BBC. https://t.co/l9irVhY6XA
An error to bench the brilliant @maitlis. Absolutely nothing she said was incorrect. @BBCNewsnight is a magazine programme, not a news bulletin. It is not a breach of impartiality to speak the truth incisively. This is no time to go wobbly. https://t.co/QPGefFrejY
I think this is possibly the most beautiful that I have ever seen King's College look at this time of year. (Twitter cropped my previous photo and I so want you all to see this!)
@Kings_College
sending out Robert Jenrick who made an unscheduled visit to his third home in Shropshire to defend Dominic Cummings trips to Durham and Barnard Castle is a bold move
This is remarkable: Twitter is tagging Trump's tweets to contest "unsubstantiated claims" of voter fraud. All credit to them, but this is a grave situation for any democracy: a private company is having to challenge incendiary claims by an elected president against his opponents.
I feel sorry for that Professor who lost his job for shagging during the lockdown. He should've just said he was worried his penis had stopped working and he wanted to double check.
In extended fiery remarks, Gov. Andrew Cuomo responds to attack from Donald Trump: "First of all, If he's sitting home watching TV, maybe he should get up and go to work, right?"
Watch his full remarks: https://t.co/imu5k1sE1D
