Some Canadian companies need a bailout; what will they have to promise to get one?

Drug manufacturing must be brought to UK, NHS bosses and charities tell MPs

Coronavirus crisis reveals weakness in supply chain as medicines in export ban rise from 29 to 196 this year

NHS leaders and medical charities are calling for ministers to bring more drug manufacturing to the UK to reduce the risk of future shortages after the problems seen during the coronavirus crisis.

The supply chain isn’t as good – isn’t as robust – as it could be

Ralph Reed, an evangelical leader and conservative political activist, first met Donald Trump in 2011, after being “coincidentally” seated next to Ivanka Trump at a meeting. The following year, he writes now, at his own Faith & Freedom conference, Trump “bounded on stage to the thumping strains of ‘Money, money, money’ from For the Love of Money, a song by the 70s soul group the O’Jays”.
