What Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn say about secret US/UK talks about the 
NHS.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fTffUvBFZs -- UK Prime Minister and leader 
of the Conservative Party Boris Johnson said:

> Boris Johnson: We are absolutely resolved that there will be no sale of 
> the NHS, no privatisation, the NHS is not on the table in any way.
> 
> Questioner: Not drug patents?
> 
> Boris Johnson: In no way, the NHS is in no way on the table, in no 
> aspect whatever and this, as I say, is continually brought up by the 
> Labour Party as a diversionary tactic from the difficulties they are 
> encountering particularly over the problem about leadership on 
> anti-Semitism and then the great vacuity about their policy on Brexit, 
> nobody knows what side Mr. Corbyn would come down on, in fact he said 
> he's going to be neutral so you're left wondering what the point is of 
> his doing this deal.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wTwu0zl1XQ -- Labour Party leader Jeremy 
Corbyn said:

> Jeremy Corbyn: If you watch the first TV debate between me and Boris 
> Johnson you'll have seen me hold up these censored, blacked-out reports 
> [Corbyn held up a hardcopy of censored blacked-out reports]. Pages and 
> pages of censored blacked-out reports of secret US and UK talks about 
> breaking open our NHS to US corporations and thus driving up the cost
> of medicines. What I have here [Corbyn unzipped a black case holding a 
> hardcopy of a document which he removed from the case and then held up] 
> is something I can reveal to you. 451 pages of unredacted documents and
> information, all of it here [people dressed in scrubs handed out copies
> of a document to people assembled in the hall where Corbyn was 
> speaking]. His [Boris Johnson's] government released this [presumably
> was holding the censored document], we [the Labour Party] have since 
> released this [presumably holding the uncensored document] which is a 
> very different version of events. Perhaps he would like to explain why 
> these documents confirm the US is demanding the NHS is on the table in 
> the trade talks. These uncensored documents leave Boris Johnson's 
> denials in absolute tatters. Voters need to ask themselves some very 
> serious questions. Is the NHS safe in Boris Johnson's hands?
