Breaking news regarding the fight parliament

Thanks to your support, today the Labour Party are committing to making prescriptions free for everyone in the UK.

This announcement means we are one step closer to ensuring that the 2.3 million people with asthma in England no longer have to pay to breathe.

You’ve really helped the campaign by emailing the leaders of the main parties in England and this clearly resonated with the Labour party.

Changing the 50-year-old medical exemptions list feels possible now more than ever.

Thanks for your support

During my life time the Labour Party have been in control for thirty years, and have increased prescription charges year on year. As the price of abolishing prescription charges brings with it the abolition of fee-paying schools, further nationalisation, the abolition of the monarchy and the establishment, and many other levelling-down policies, to many it is not a price worth paying.

I wouldn't believe anything the Labour Party say. What about scrapping University fees? Another one of their lies just to get votes. It will never happen.
