“The NHS has updated its guidelines for prescribing Mounjaro (tirzepatide) for weight management, effective from June 23, 2025. Adults are eligible if they have a BMI of 40 or more, or 37.5 or more for individuals from Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds, and have four or more...

You didn’t answer the question. What makes you think obesity is so difficult to diagnose it takes longer than 5 minutes? Surely answering that question would be making your point.

Gluttony requires different treatment to obesity.

I don’t think obesity is that difficult of a condition to diagnose. Mk1 eyeball, a tape measure and a set of scales. I’m curious as to why you think it would take longer than 5 minutes to diagnose.

Treating the issues linked to obesity costs the NHS something like £6.5 billion a year and not only adds to NHS waiting times it also keeps people on the waiting lists as often obesity has to be addressed before certain procedures can be implemented. Surely a weight loss drug supplied by the...

They’re a militant organisation not a terrorist organisation and there is a difference. Spay painting a few military planes while organising mass largely if not entirely peaceful protest in the streets is not terrorism. Targeting innocent people with bombs is terrorism. We’ve seen terrorism in...

No it isn’t, it’s 40. Mandated in Spanish law. The current government wants it reduced to 37.5 for a better work life balance and more inline with Scandinavian countries.

Again with the simple words and no context. Where is waste huge? Certainly not at the coal front. Which is where cuts always take place. Define waste past a headline in the daily mail too. You’re classed as a junior doctor for 5-10 years depending on your specialty. Plus I think you need to...

Tiny percentages again. Not enough to tar a whole demographic. But using words like spongers with zero context is not a constructive argument. Same with you and public sector workers rinsing sick pay. My wife is a public sector worker, she’s paid a pittance for her qualifications and could earn...

Again, how are you defining spongers? About 30% of claimants are in work. About 40% of claimants are on disabilities. About 10% of claimants are short term claimants ie less than 3 months. Sure we all have a personal anecdote about someone who’s never worked but they are in a minority of...

Aren’t immigrant spongers lower than the uk average for spongers? Surely it depends on how you define sponging also. Immigrants on minimum wages doing the jobs we don’t want to may be in receipt of benefits to assist their housing costs for example. Are they spongers? Or is it just the price to...

British doctors lost overseas every year is typically between 4-5k. Main reason for leaving is pay and conditions. Average intake of foreign doctors every year is typically around 6K a year. Maybe we should start paying them better and improve their conditions, that way we may lose less doctors...

The majority had non dom status and left because of the ending of our almost unique history of having non dom status. So the answer to your question is barely any were economically active, certainly not to the extent that there wealth would have you believe that they could be. There’s also the...

So what unfair advantage would the fire service receive from the connection of a senior FBU member’s relationship with an MP? What financial gain did the MP, family members or friends receive? You do understand that lobbying is not only legal in the UK it is also seen as healthy to our...

Breaking news. Labour has a relationship with the unions. She is not trying to enrich herself, family members or friends. She’s trying to achieve extra funding to the fire service, frankly a job all MP’s should be doing. Especially against the backdrop of austerity which cut funding to the fire...

Murky lobbying to increase spending on public services, what will those socialist be up to next? They should be lobbying to transfer public money to their mates private companies like real MP’s. Fuckinf murky lobbying my arse.

Are there various benefits anymore. Isn’t it just universal credit now? State pension aside?

Boris certainly pledged to plant more trees at the 2019 GE but largely because Corbyn had put it in his manifesto and it was proving to be a popular pledge especially amongst young voters. It was widely reported that they were failing early doors although to be fair we did have the pandemic...

How are the melts this morning? Still crying over free speech? I see Neil Young closed with 2 protest songs.

He’s on BBC2 from 10. The BBC managed to broker a last minute deal.
