Summary
Guardian columnist Aditya Chakrabortty argues that Keir Starmer's government has pushed through a law enabling a US pharma deal that will harm the British public by costing the NHS billions, diverting funds from doctors, nurses, and cancer care. The piece frames this as a profound democratic failure where elected officials are acting against the interests of their constituents, with independent experts warning the deal could be more lethal than Covid.
