I'm looking at the agenda for our Life Sciences Summit on May the 21st.
There's so much turmoil right now over drug pricing.
It's a massive conflict between industry innovation and the reality of the NHS budgets.
Yeah, it 's a fascinating topic and the NHS has done its job of getting extremely cheap drugs and then President Trump
has done his job of saying, but hang on, you 're free riding on all of our research money
and marrying that tension has been really hard.
This is something that I think we'll be looking into on the day.
Yeah, it's going to be really interesting to hear from our speakers like Patrick Vallance and Melanie Iverson.
Everyone listening it 's it 's already a heavily subscribed event we 've got over 200 of the best in the sector
signed up to join us i'm definitely looking forward to tackling those tough conversations though and having a real look
at what 's happening across the sector yeah look i mean obviously go to the times.
com forward slash events to find out more that i was n't told that peter mandelson had failed security vetting
when he 's appointed is staggering.
Starmer has misled parliament.
He's lied to the public.
They knew that Peter Mandelson had failed vetting and they still sent him to Washington.
If he 's saying he did n't know, he is telling the country that he is incompetent
and that means he should n't be running the government.
