The upshot from last night's farce:

MPs have voted 314-284 against an amendment to the Trade Bill calling for all free trade deals after Brexit to be subject to Parliamentary scrutiny and consent
MPs have voted 316-37 against giving devolved authorities a veto on Government trade negotiations after Brexit
MPs have voted 315-285 against requiring the Government to publish texts of proposed trade agreements prior to ratification
MPs have voted 307-301 against an amendment from rebel Conservative MPs to the Trade Bill which would have seen the UK remain in a customs union in the event of a no-deal Brexit
MPs have voted 317-286 in favour of approving the Government's post-Brexit Trade Bill

'Brexit dividend' for health service a myth, Government's official spending watchdog confirms

Not news, more of a re-iteration, I think.

The only "Brexit dividend" that will happen in the NHS is the dividends paid to shareholders of the private companies who continue to increase their hold on the NHS as it is ripped wide open in the trade deals done with the US and China when they happen.

It's not being highlighted so much by the media but the Rees Mogg amendment that effectively killed the backstop agreement where NI is concerned pretty much guaranteed a no deal Brexit, if the EU stick to their negotiating posture from late last year.

Having a strong negotiating position isn't a fault, nor is chaos what they're hoping for.

In the UK as it stands, Virgin Care are probably the best known private healthcare company making money from the NHS. You also have the likes of BMI, Vanguard, Circle, Serco, Capita, Carillion and BUPA amongst the for profit companies who have won NHS tenders and taken their share of the coin(In many cases, providing a far poorer service and being forced to quit the contracts before completion). Even Arriva fucking busses have made money, through the supply of ambulance services in parts of England.

If that tender process is opened up to companies in the US then you are looking at HCA, Tenet, Acadia and UnitedHealth amongst many many others who will also look to take advantage and get their cut.

The votes are there to over turn it any time the government chooses.
