      >He said: “Weight-loss jabs are the talk of the House of Commons tea rooms, half my colleagues are on them and are judging the rest of us saying ‘you lot should be on them’.

      I’m sure he’s riffing here but, er, that’s extremely unhealthy? If there’s even an element of truth here then that’s an awful work culture and it’s crazy that the Health Secretary (and someone who is known to wield a lot of influence within the government) would just casually say this like it’s jokes and laughs. This is how eating disorders happen.

      Also sad that apparently our MPs are unhealthy enough to all supposedly need it. Others have proven you can be a politician while living a physically healthy lifestyle (even President Biden managed to do so, so some backbencher MP has no excuses).

      Very strange article and unbecoming as always from the Health Minister.

      I’m guessing they can also afford the treatments for the side affects as well then.

      Wasn’t this supposed to only be used for people on type 2 diabetes or is this just another form of substance abuse?

      I wonder how many actually take ozempic.

      I also want to know if Lindsay Hoyle takes it himself.

      Good idea these weight loss jabs. Wish they’d be prescribed for cars as well.

      if people need them they are decent.

      am not interested in shaming people for wanting to be thin if it lowers demand on the NHS overall.

      It would be interesting to see how many of them are claiming it on expenses. Bobby Jenrick seems like the kind of guy to mainline it and then claim it is for PR purposes or something.

      This is a bit weird right? Surely it can’t be good for otherwise healthy people to casually take medication for diabetes?

      I’m on them – they’re magic. I bet the junk food industry is scaling up lobbying. Yea yes us know abou the pancreatitis – and I’ll book the blood test soon thru medichecks

      I wonder how our ‘excess’ economy will cope once the food and pharmaceuticals aren’t getting us fat and making us reliant on comorbidity meds – well aside the manufacturers of the weight loss injections who’re raking in billions..

    11. broketoliving on

      probably paid for on expenses, the average wage you couldn’t afford it

      Oh good, looking forward to the Westminster production of Requiem for a Dream…

      And this is coming from the bloke that thinks blockers are untested?

    14. ManOnNoMission on

      He’s really not helping the illusion that it’s a silver bullet.

    15. alphabetown on

      He has such a sinister hard on for these to the point I wouldn’t be surprised if hes being bankrolled by a manufacturer. Borderline eugenicist talk about getting people back into work via them (despite weightloss being only one aspect of health) and now touting MPs taking them maybe/ maybe not as a joke. These are not the magic bullet he thinks they are.

    16. horagino on

      And these are the people running our country? The ones with no self-discipline to even keep their mouths shut and not stuff them full of food? No wonder this country’s become such a mess.

    17. i-am-a-passenger on

      People being on mounjaro is the worst kept secret in the country (for those that can afford it at least). It really is a revolutionary drug which will have wide reaching societal impacts, making obesity a thing of the past.

    18. limeflavoured on

      Presumably he’s exaggerating (certainly round here saying “half of them” as a phrase can be used like that). But regardless, the fact that he is willing to say that says something about how he views them. Whether he, as health secretary, should be doing that is a different issue.

    19. Spamgrenade on

      They cost £150 – £250 privately, that’s pretty cheap for a working fat loss drug. Not surprising fat people use it really.

    20. jodrellbank_pants on

      That makes me not trust them even more.
      Can’t make the effort to loose weight naturally.

    21. Mclarenrob2 on

      Are people really that lazy they can’t do exercise or eat proper food?

    22. fjtuk on

      2025 Wes Streeting, let’s use drugs to solve our obesity crisis

      2035 NHS swamped by previously rare forms of cancer and malnutrition as country is addicted to weight lossndrugs
