HEALTH campaigners have pledged the “fight of their lives” against any trade deal with US President Donald Trump that threatens the National Health Service as a publicly owned body.

A coalition of groups led by Keep Our NHS Public and We Own It launched a campaign today which will call on the government to pass new legislation to protect the NHS from privatisation in post-Brexit trade deals.

Last week both Boris Johnson and International Trade Secretary Liz Truss ruled out the privatisation of the NHS in any US-UK trade deal.
