One of Labour’s key messages throughout this election has been the future of the NHS. The party has used confidential US-UK trade documents to drive home their message that Boris Johnson wants to sell off parts of the health service to American businesses. But last night, social media experts told Reuters that the leak of these sensitive documents had the hallmarks of foreign interference.
Jeremy Corbyn has used the leaked paperwork as a campaigning prop on multiple occasions, including on the ITV leader’s debate last month. Having looked through the documents, Mr S has his own views on the veracity of Labour’s claims…
Earlier this morning, Labour frontbencher Laura Pidcock was invited on to Sky News where presenter Kay Burley asked the shadow minister where the document had come from. Pidcock told the news anchor:
These documents have been given to the Labour party, I’m not privy to any of that information.
