US-UK drug deal could result in 229,000 excess deaths in England, analysis suggests
Analysis reveals extent of impact on NHS of placating Donald Trump over price of British medicine exports The NHS will have to divert £45bn from essential services to pay for new medicines under the terms of the UK-US trade deal agreed last December, leading to more than 200,000 avoidable deaths of patients, analysis has found. Ministers have defended the deal as a way of helping British drug exports to the US avoid tariffs, and giving patients in England access to potentially life-extending drugs that would otherwise be denied.

I don’t want this point to be lost in the discourse. Going digital-only means inequity for people who cannot afford internet or constantly purchasing new games. Libraries provide opportunities for people to experience games they otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford, and that will be lost.

If this really does happen, and the push back from players doesn’t scare them I hope they take a more Nintendo stance so you’re able to share games with friends.

I always knew companies would move away from physical media at some point but not THIS soon but I guess in the age of AI it feel really insidious as they’re burning a large % of their employees and ramping up ways to create more profit

This along with them basically doing dynamic pricing for digital games is really worrying as they alone (as things stand right now) will have the monopoly on their digital games. Surely this is against some law / legislation somewhere 🤨

I’m really worried about the state of physical media, PlayStation have decided to stop producing discs in the future which felt like a long time coming when their collectors editions of games were digital codes for the PS5 generation.

I didn't want to be in the position to ask this, but my job is starting much later than planned, to the point where I'm looking short on rent. I'm looking for approx. £250 in total. I know it's a hard time for everyone so whatever you can spare, I'd be truly grateful. ⚡ ko-fi.com/shazshanghar...

Do I know anyone on this platform that is #disabled or has an invisible disability that attended the #Silverstone #BritishGP this year? I’ve made a community for disabled people to share their experiences from around the track and to help people plan their future race events on Facebook.

Last night I hardly slept I have been slowly watching the numbers creep up of Labour MPs signing the amendments (rebellion) act for PIP/UC CUT and I think we are at about 119/120 MPs against the cuts which is incredible. Labour seem to be taking this as a vote of no confidence in Kier Starmer 🔥

The government is #takingthepip disabled people are let down time and time again by support systems put in place to help us. Right now the government wants to cut benefits that are supposed to help us.

Can we just legalise it
110
Dottie @dottiedotted.bsky.social · 28/05/2025
We should legalise it at this point, tax it and then some of the tax that comes from that will help the NHS, addicts when they’re seeking help are funded. It also then takes away major stigma issues around people who are cancer patients, people with long term health conditions that smoke cannabis.

I already feel like I’m on the fringes of society as I don’t get out much, I only really see close friends at larger events like Comicon / EGX. Friends I grew up with have mostly left the UK or weren’t nice when I became disabled.

Dottie @dottiedotted.bsky.social · 27/05/2025
The thought of the government forcing people into work to the point they literally cannot get out of bed or are to unwell to do anything at all is wrong. It shows the utter contempt that Labour has for us.

Dottie @dottiedotted.bsky.social · 27/05/2025
I know I’ve been super political recently but being disabled is political it’s your existence is scary sometimes. I know some of you dislike it and may think it’s woke but I’m already so unwell right now and that’s not even from worrying.
