Welcome to Sadiq Khan's London, says Steven Tucker: where images of women in swimwear, wedding cake and hotdogs are banned but radical Islamic preachers burning dollars are welcome.
Deaths from heart failure in 2023 have been 26% higher than pre-pandemic levels, the latest data show. How much of this is because lockdown made the nation less healthy and active?
The EU is investigating reports of suicidal thoughts associated with weight loss drugs Ozempic and Saxenda. This is not a surprise as all previous weight loss drugs have been withdrawn due to harms.
The WHO now thinks that artificial sweeteners don't help with weight loss and may be dangerous, contradicting its previous advice. So how do we know it's got it right this time?
Those demonising the unvaccinated need to look in the mirror – many of them are overweight, and that's much more likely to put you in hospital for Covid or something else than declining the vaccine.
Binge-eating and lack of exercise during lockdown has led to a massive increase in people suffering from Gout. 234,000 patients were admitted to hospital with gout in 2021/22, according to NHS Digital.
People with severe obesity generate a significantly weaker immune response to COVID-19 vaccination compared to those with normal weight, but the previously infected do not have this problem, a study has found.

Last year saw the largest annual rise in childhood obesity since records began. This brings to mind one of Martin Kulldorff's principles: “Public health is about all health outcomes, not just a single disease.”

Food delivery and taxi-hailing firms including Uber, Bolt, Deliveroo and Pizza Pilgrims have all been enrolled in this latest psychiatric intervention and are now offering incentives for young people to arouse the Prime Minister’s husband by receiving what he’s taken to referring to during Cabinet meetings as “the pharmaceutical boys’ ejaculate". "How many disease vectors have the pharmaceutical boys ejaculated into this week?" he'll ask excitedly, often several times a minute, the words oozing up and out of that capricious little slit in his head like smarmy treacle, mellifluous and full of privilege. As you might imagine, the BBC got themselves pretty hot and horny about this, the policy’s underlying mix of messianic, full-throttle welfarism and Old Testament-style retributive psychopathy touching a sweet spot for the munificent totalitarians over at New Broadcasting House. Not that they were able to get off as many superlatives as they'd have liked.
