It's as if the right wing press aren't telling the full story.

Do you take everything you read in in the Daily Telegraph, or watch on GB News, at face value?

I mean Streeting chose to make the announcement by writing for the Telegraph but don't let stop you with your nonsense.

Do you even read the links you post?

Even the headline on the left is clear, that he's concerned about misuse of weight loss drugs bought on the internet. Because it's difficult to get these drugs via the NHS, there's a growing market in unlicensed drugs - many of which turn out to be fake - and private prescribers, who aren't following legal guidelines.

Sure - and you've chosen to take an out of context headline, and run with it. You've also posted an ignorant comparison from Stats for Lefties.

In principle getting people to lose weight is good for their long term health so it makes sense to offer it on NHS. I’ll assume they aren’t planning linking it to benefits given you simply can’t jab a cohort against their will.

However weight problems often have underlying causes like depression as well so if we don’t treat them holistically it might end up being a bit pointless.

All they've announced is a five year study at the University of Manchester, about expanding the use of the drugs. The work stuff is just one of the criteria that they'll assess at the end.

New study to deepen understanding of a weight loss medication

Health Innovation Manchester and The University of Manchester has today (14 October 2024) announced a groundbreaking strategic partnership with Eli Lilly and Company (Lilly) to initiate a five-year real-world evidence study (SURMOUNT-REAL UK), subject to relevant approvals.

Just more Tory feed to give their supporters something to whinge about.

For me, it’s now turned into the Daily Bullshit and what I’d expect of a Trump campaign, not a British one.

Because the drug was available from unlicensed and unmonitored 'Beauty Enhancement' shops as long as it could be paid for ... under this scheme it will be available on the NHS and administered bt trained professionals

It's not just the Tory's. The comments under that Stats for Lefties post are something else. Not a single person appears to have even read the heading, never mind engaged in a bit of critical thought.

What the fuck?

Sounds very Tory that.

Next they'll make child labour legal to "boost the economy"

It worked for streeting. He was a fat ****.

Yep. They're just inherently evil people.

Harsh, I prefer the term rotund or chubby.
