LONDON - A few hours in the genteel English countryside next week could be the biggest risk to Boris Johnson in the final stretch of his election bid.

That, he claims, will lead to higher prices for drugs and ruin forever the free-to-use healthcare that Britons have come to expect. A cabinet minister endorsed those concerns. Another senior official said measures were being taken to minimise the risk, though they didn't say how this would be possible given Trump's penchant for speaking his mind at all hours on Twitter, or for going off topic when he holds media briefings.

"I think Trump actually pole axed Corbyn," Farage said in an interview this month."Corbyn says the NHS will be sold to the Americans, Trump says it's not even on the table." While Brexit is the top issue for the country, healthcare is second. It is a measure of the sanctity of the NHS that more than half of ordinary taxpayers would be willing to pay more to fund investment in it. Fewer than a third of people opposed higher taxes to do so, the research showed.
