Actress Anne-Marie Duff leads petition against EU and US trade deal

A 100,000-name petition will be handed in to 10 Downing Street by campaigners against a controversial trade deal being negotiated between the EU and the United States.

Suffragette actress Anne-Marie Duff will today join activists who are pressing the British government to make sure the NHS is not affected by the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP).

Campaigners have warned that parts of the health service would be privatised under the deal.
