Good point Diku, I would advocate a nanny state when it comes to diet. Government should ban seed oils & sugar, there is absolutely no reason for these products to exist they are worse for health than recreational drugs & alcohol.

Double Dutch?
Sir Keir said Labour had been "very clear in the manifesto that we wouldn't be increasing tax on working people".

He added: "It wasn't just the manifesto, we said it repeatedly in the campaign and we intend to keep the promises that we made in our manifesto."
How is an increase in NI employer conts not an increase in tax on working people?

Kamala Harris and kneel seem to have the same script writers

if Kamala's own team don’t have confidence in her, why should voters?

Still, look on the bright side. Time’s owner may be annoyed. But its readers must be relieved. Because now they won’t be forced to wade through page after page of her garbled, vacuous, pseudo-profound wittering.

This is, after all, the woman who once said: “I think it’s very important for us at every moment in time, and certainly this one, to see the moment in time in which we exist and are present, and to be able to contextualise it, to understand where we exist in the history and in the moment as it relates not only to the past but the future.”

Wes Streeting, the Health Secretary, has said the new class of medication could have a “monumental221; impact on obesity and getting Britain working.

Mr Streeting has announced a £280million investment from Lilly, the world’s largest pharmaceutical company, in developing new medicines and ways to deliver treatment. The plans will include the first real-world trial of the drugs’ effect on worklessness, productivity and reliance on the NHS.
