    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    The first part already exists, its tiers 1-3 of the NHS weight management service. Consultant I spoke to put the failure rate of this approach at over 99% in people who were concerned enough about their health enough to have navigated the system to the point they can access those services. How...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    this forum never ceases to amaze. not sure why they even bother to study the effects of new treatments when they could just log on here and get all the answers.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    This seems to be in the news at the moment as Streeting has been talking about it. Interestingly on the radio they mentioned the NHS has done a cost benefit analysis which shows huge long term savings by prescribing these drugs to those who need them. Another point that was mentioned, which may...

    Wilson injured!!!!

    obviously it would be Dovin, he's the one on the bench. the more interesting question is would Collins even make the bench or is he really out in the cold.

    You've answered your own question there I think. The negative rumours far outweigh the positive so clearly those leaking have their own agenda. Problem is a lot of people will ignore the times the various ITKs have been wrong and take everything as 100% true. Year after year we've been told...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It's kind of funny to see some of these arguments as they're basically making the same argument that is made for universal basic income. Pretty sure those on the right of the political spectrum who are arguing against withdrawing WFP would be up in arms if Starmer or Reeves suggested bringing...

    Road closures

    I was going off the map posted, go up Winding House Lane and turn right in to Wheelwright and it was clearly outside the zone on that map, same with Burbages Lane which was the other road asked about. Did they extend the residents parking zones at some point? There's not much information on the...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Latest figures I can find are from 2 weeks ago and at that point 40K had signed up for pension credit since they announced they would no longer give WFP. The application process is needlessly overcomplicated and IMO could easily be automated. Clearly they know how much you are receiving even...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Someone's going to need to tell me which bit of this I'm supposed to be mad at and which part is supposed to be negative. Seems a perfectly reasonable article

    Parole series

    Can't argue with that, think people underestimate how much thinks like cutting funding for things like mental health and addiction services impact. Found the bit at the end of this show about how they do things different in Norway, and the difference in reoffending rates, interesting...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    tbf what the ministers said was absolutely spot on so no surprise to see they've been rebuked by Starmer who has chosen to side with the billionaires over the workers

    Wasps go to bottom of the pyramid

    Can't think of any football clubs who went bust, missed a couple of seasons, and then got dropped straight into the Championship.
