So where are these documents available for all and sundry to read?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-50572502
The BBC's analysis of the document only shows that the US has 'asked for this'....... the US has 'suggested that'.
There is no evidence of anything being put forward by the UK for negotiation and definitely nothing to suggest that the 'NHS is for sale'.
Printing off multiple copies of the 450 paged leaked document is a sign of Corbyn's desperation with only 2 weeks to go.![]()
On ITV news they said it wasn't the 'smoking gun' Corbyn was hoping for. They're not kidding.
The 451 page document is a working group setting out their stall for a basis of future negotiations, the Department for Trade confirmed these were not trade negotiations.
In 451 pages the NHS is mentioned just 4 times.
Including all 451 pages, the NHS is mentioned 4 times, once regarding defending the NHS’s access to cheaper drugs for patients. One sentence even spells out the US were “Sensitive to the particular sensitivities with the health sector in the UK”:

Conservative response:
“Jeremy Corbyn is getting desperate and is out-and-out lying to the public about what these documents contain. He has always believed in conspiracy theories – which is why he has failed to crack down on the scourge of antisemitism in his party. This is the man that has caused huge offence by blaming an imaginary ‘Zionist lobby’ for society’s ills and now he has decided to smear UK officials too.
“People should not believe a word that he says – this stunt is simply a smokescreen for the fact that he has no plan for Brexit and that he has been forced to admit that he wants to increase taxes for millions of families.
“As we have consistently made clear: the NHS will not be on the table in any future trade deal and the price that the NHS pays for drugs will not be on the table. This sort of conspiracy theory fuelled nonsense is not befitting of the leader of a major political party
On ITV news they said it wasn't the 'smoking gun' Corbyn was hoping for.
You sure?Fillyboy admits: its a smoking gun.
BBC's Andrew Neil TV interview of Labour's Barry Gardner
Labour’s Barry Gardiner quoted an annual extra cost of £26bn for the UK buying US drugs - but Andrew Neil says: “It’s ludicrous and you know that figure is scaremongering.”
Mr Neil says the current total bill is actually £18bn for drugs from across the world.
But the Labour man says the point is that the government has said discussions with the US about the NHS are not going on - when the document, he claims, shows that the talks have indeed been happening.
"You're scaring people on the basis of no evidence in the document," Mr Neil says.

In the document it mentions not to mention the NHS often because they wanted to keep people unawre that they were discussing about the NHS.
