Photo: Picture posed/GettyBill Linnane Today at 06:30​If I was going to make the suggestion that people should have more kids, I’d aim for a point in the calendar when families are feeling upbeat and positive, like coming to the end of the school year before the endless promise of the summer hols, or coming to the end of the summer hols when you finally get to hand your feral children back to the open arms of the Department of Education.

Road safety isn’t fixed by one new law or one more campaign; it improves through small, sensible changes and personal choices. Ultimately, safer roads come down to awareness, consideration, and common sense.

At least 1.6 million adults in the UK have used weight-loss injections over the past year, while a further 3.3 million people have expressed interest in accessing the treatment in the next 12 months, according to new research. The study, described as the largest review of its kind and led by researchers at the University of Oxford, found that although weight-loss jabs have transformed obesity treatment, other interventions such as dietary changes and surgery may offer better long-term outcomes. Published in BMC Medicine in collaboration with Cancer Research UK, the research also revealed that women were twice as likely as men to use the injections. Usage was higher among middle-aged individuals and those reporting recent psychological distress. Researchers further noted that one in seven people using weight-loss jabs for weight reduction alone were taking medications not licensed for that purpose.
