She'll soon be ridiculed by the centrists.
Would that be the millionaire rishi who uses his knowledge to help his wife make millions more sunak (allegedly)? The one who allowed organised criminals to rob us all of BILLIONS?
Yes he is a complete hero
UK's Covid death toll fuelled by its obesity problem, say experts:
Britain was found to have the third highest death rate in the world, and the fourth highest obesity rate.
Britain's Covid death toll has been fuelled by its obesity epidemic, experts have said, as global research finds nine in 10 fatalities occurred in countries with a weight problem.
Britain was found to have the third highest death rate in the world and the fourth highest obesity rate, with more than than two in three adults overweight or obese.
The study by the World Obesity Federation examined almost 100 countries and found that 2.2 million of 2.5 million deaths occurred in countries with high levels of obesity. Overall, death rates were found to be 10 times higher in countries where more than half the population was overweight.
It found that not a single country with low levels of obesity had a coronavirus death rate higher than 10 per 100,000 population. No country with death rates above 100 per 100,000 had less than 50 per cent of its population overweight

The country with the lowest Covid death rate was Vietnam, which has one of the lowest levels of excess weight in its population, with 18 per cent overweight. Japan and Singapore were also singled out for their low levels of obesity and deaths from Covid
In 2008, Japan introduced the "Metabo law", which requires everyone between the ages of 40 and 74 to get annual measurements of their waist circumference. Employers of those with waistlines above approved limits are required to provide weight loss classes.
Lol, imagine suggesting that here???
Interesting figures. Here in Australia we also have very high rates of obesity but in a population of aprox 26 million we have only had just over 900 deaths. On the other hand we were much quicker getting to grips with the problem than the UK and it was easier for us to deal with. Our economy is starting to recover much faster than was forecast too, nobody seems to know why though but I expect our pretty poor Govt will take credit for that.
Didn't take long.I think that it will be approved soon for over 65s in Germany, at which point her position should / will change.

These countries have, I believe, some of the lower instances of infections as well.The country with the lowest Covid death rate was Vietnam, which has one of the lowest levels of excess weight in its population, with 18 per cent overweight.

It’s absolutely disgusting and a slap in the face after what they have had to endure this last 12 months.1% pay award for NHS staff.
For an experienced nurse that is £3.50 a week.
2016- £350m a week for the NHS!
2021- £3.50 a week for the NHS!

I work in the civil service and even though what I do was classified as key I fully expected the nil pay rise that we have been told we are getting but for the NHS who are already underpaid to be given 1% is effectively pissing all over what they have done.It looks like when the pandemic stops so does the extra funding, even tho there is a massive backlog. Same old tories.
Couldn't agree more I was a civil servant for over 40 years (DWP) now fortunately retired. Over those years every time there was any sort of financial crisis (which was quite often) it was always public sector pay that suffered as it was always an easy target, and it's no different now. What is different this time however is what the NHS staff have gone through this last year, and to treat them like this is an utter disgrace.I work in the civil service and even though what I do was classified as key I fully expected the nil pay rise that we have been told we are getting but for the NHS who are already underpaid to be given 1% is effectively pissing all over what they have done.
I know that we have accrued a massive debt as a result of the pandemic but that should be secondary to ensuring the people in the NHS know they are appreciated and supported.
