So AstraZenica are not going ahead with the expansion of one of its plants because the offer of state aid from Rachel Reeves was less than Jeremy Hunt offered last year.

If you wondered how BigPharma became one of the most profitable sectors in the global economy it is in least part through a very effective game of corporate welfare acquisition via implied threats to health services.

Still I'm sure they'll mobilise patient groups to blame Reeves!
