Brexit or no Brexit - so-called 'trade' deals still threaten our NHS

If UK campaigners don't set the terms of our trading relationships, insisting they protect public services and standards, it will be left to Theresa May's expensive army of corporate lawyers.

Sadly, the recent Brexit decision does not end the UK’s involvement in corporate-friendly, anti-democratic “trade” deals, like the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership between the EU and US (TTIP) and the less noted EU/Canada Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agenda (CETA).

Of course, the UK remains part of the European Union until the negotiations for our exit are completed, and trade and investment deals agreed by the EU during these interim years will still apply to us for some time.
