The UK-USA medicines deal obliges the NHS to pay much higher prices for new medicines. This is “one of Brexit’s hidden costs”. EU countries negotiated collectively with the USA, with much greater leverage. Britain negotiated alone with no clout and lost out. ukandeu.ac.uk/the-uk-us-me...

Royal Mail once again missed its letter delivery targets. Regulator lowers targets, RM still doesn't meet them. Price of 1st class postage: £1.80, 2nd class 91p. When privatized in 2013 by Tory and LibDem Govt: 1st class 60p; 2nd class 50p. Worse service for higher price.
