TTIP and NHS

www.theyworkforyou.com/debates/?id=2015-07-07a.174.6&s=TTIP#g177.5

I do not hold out much hope for TTIP in the commons debate if this is how Hunt answers a query from an MP, vampire.

Been voted on, vampire.

The whole Labour group voted against TTIP today as they wanted to protect the NHS from more privatisation.

Unfortunately they lost, according to War on Want, but it was just a vote to continue negotiations, not to pass the TTIP.

I saw. Unfortunately big business will win because they rule the world.

"We did it! We stopped the European Parliament weakening our NHS!

Last week, People’s NHS sent out an email about a TTIP amendment that could have weakened our NHS even more. And wow did you respond – over 31,000 letters sent to MEPs! TTIP is bad news but if that amendment had passed, private companies would have got even more room to sue governments for trying to reverse the sell-off of our NHS.

But we stopped it! Official EU records show that the amendment to weaken protections for our NHS has been dropped!"

From the people's NHS, vampire. Fingers crossed it will work. Big business does not always win - just most of the time.

That's brilliant. We have to protect the NHS.
