A challenge to the government’s refusal to release an impact assessment of a controversial pharmaceutical trade deal with the US has been denied
The UK agreed a drug trade deal with the US in December last year to soften the impact of tariffs

A new BMJ Analysis finds a UK-US trade deal could cost the NHS a potential £45bn in drug spending and nearly 300 000 excess deaths in 10 years.
The deal sacrifices UK health and wealth, contrary to the rhetoric of government ministers, says @KamranAbbasi

A poor response from the Government to the BBC's investigation. Estimated £1 billion laundered so the Government provides £30 million to deal with it.
What are banks doing? Surely it must be obvious if large sums are deposited by bank transfer to shops or car washes.
Hi @shariquasyed92.
I read your article on the BBC News, Peterborough website about Longthorpe Bowls Club seeking new members.I think you are local to Peterborough. You might not know that most clubs are seeking new members. How about an article on bowls image v reality etc?

A new era for Commonwealth Sport, a bold reimagining of the Games.
Welcoming TNT Sports as our UK and Ireland live broadcaster for #Glasgow2026!
ALT “It is great to welcome Warner Bros. Discovery to the Glasgow 2026 family of broadcasters. "In Scotland, we committed to a bold reimagining of the Games, innovative, future focused and with sports fans at the centre of the action…This broadcast partnership, secured by Commonwealth Sport, reflects our shared ambition to take coverage of the Games to new and growing audiences. "This is a Games for a new era of Commonwealth Sport and this partnership sets us up for an incredible showcase of sport in Glasgow next summer.” Phil Batty OBE, CEO of Glasgow 2026

This is absolutely shameful. The Commonwealth Games should be free to enjoy for everyone, not locked behind a paywall, particularly when it's taking place right here at home.
Millions of fans will be gutted to learn they might have to fork out for a subscription to cheer on our fantastic athletes competing in Glasgow.
The Government should step in to ensure the Games is free-to-air.

If you like quizes or dancing, or fancy a go at lawn bowls in the summer then Brush Bowls Club is the place to be:

Hugely disappointed that the new Beatkes Anthology book is in paperback and not hardback like the original.
Similarly disappointed that the documenatry is only on Disney and not on DVD/Blu-ray.

So, my BP is a bit high and my 10 yr QRISK 3 score is 16.6%.But if I put on 6kg it goes down to 16.5%. If I move to Beckenham, where I moved from, it goes up to 18.1%. Not much better if I move back to my home town, 17.4%. Oh, and if I lose 5kg it goes to 16.7%.

Dear @RegaResearch,
I have a Rega Apollo-R CD player purchase in September 2020.
I just opened the door and one of the three screws that hold a spring in place in the CD holder came out and fell into the hole.
Please can you advise me how I go about getting this fixed? Tnx.
