Here comes the big sell off of our NHS data, yes that is our data.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
Here you are America have all our health records, now you can bid us for private health care.

To sell this data has major ramifications for all in the UK not just the fact we will be pushed further down the privitisation route; what about our laws on abortions, not much of a match there with the US.

Only time will see a data breach too.  No, there is no data hear.  No data at all.  There has never been any data here!

Advances in other countries are striding ahead with new tech for renewable power and install of heat pumps while here we are still burning gas to heat our homes and opening coal mines.

It is startling to see how far behind we are compared to  other countries, we are behind Hungry with heat pump installations.

But maybe we are still a World leader in corruption as someone in the comments suggested; and surely we are close behind the top spot in muppetry.
