Serah Bosley - Labour pledges to break patents and offer latest drugs on NHS

Jeremy Corbyn says party will create company to make cheap versions of drugs like Orkambi


The British people will be told Labour can't work, and millions will vote Tory to remain being exploited and living in misery. They think the Tory Party is the party of the noble establishment, the Lords, the civility, the people who defend Britain to keep us safe and bring law and order, but nothing could be further from the truth. All they protect is their privileges and aquired wealth, even if it risks killing us all. 


 Labour has pledged to create a publicly-owned company to make cheap versions of medicines the NHS needs but cannot afford, such as Orkambi, which is denied to thousands of children and young people with life-shortening cystic fibrosis.


Jeremy Corbyn told the Labour party conference that he had met nine-year-old Luis Walker, who suffers from the disease which clogs his lungs and makes breathing a struggle. “Every day he needs four hours of treatment and is often in hospital, which keeps him from school and his friends,” said Corbyn.

"medicines the NHS needs but cannot afford,"

Classic....

Socialism for the banks and the rich justify socialism for their victims (everyone else) too.

Btw Franko, isn't it a bit hypocritical to comment in other people's posts when you do not allow comments in your own?

Didactic methodology...

Tom has the Platonist/dialectic “broad gate” methodology covered here... I’ll only criticize it...

Matt’s “criticism” is so extremely vague and unspecified and designed to allow him to cop out from any diskussion. That’s how a lazy brain of right wing nut job works.
