Quote:Weight loss jabs are not a “quick fix” and the health secretary’s plan to use them to help people get back to work could backfire, experts have warned.

Wes Streeting announced a real-world trial of the medication’s impact on worklessness this week, saying that “widening waistbands” were placing a burden on the NHS. He suggested that as well as bringing benefits to the health service, the jabs could help people get back into employment.

But scientists have said deploying the medications specifically for that purpose would carry serious logistical and ethical problems.

Wegovy, which contains the drug semaglutide, is already being prescribed on the NHS for obesity, however this is not yet the case for Mounjaro, which contains tirzepatide. There have also been concerns about worldwide shortages, although the NHS is thought to have enough.

While the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) has said Wegovy should only be prescribed through specialist weight loss services, it has suggested Mounjaro could be prescribed by GPs.

Experts have welcomed the recognition of obesity as a health issue that affects quality of life, and are excited about the potential of these drugs. But they say serious problems could arise should the medications be used to specifically tackle unemployment.

“Streeting is correct in saying that for some people their weight will be a burden to their ability to work, and for people who have significant levels of obesity, it is almost certain that their biology has led them to that weight. Providing people with proven, effective medications to help them lose weight may lead to them being able to enter the workforce,” said Dr Simon Cork, senior lecturer in physiology at Anglia Ruskin University. “But this is not a quick-fix solution.”

One major issue, he said, is that access is already hugely problematic. While he said that specialist services are the best approach to maximise results and ensure patient safety, overwhelming demand has already resulted in some trusts pausing all referrals to obesity services.

“The whole system is designed to bottleneck patients through the pipeline and reduce access to specialist services, but alternative provisions through primary care risk the NHS wasting money on partially effective medications and risks patient health,” he added, noting a complete overhaul of the system is needed.

Cork added that, should unemployed people end up being prioritised for the medications, one possibility is that people will quit their jobs, noting patients have been known to put on weight to become eligible for bariatric surgery.

“People will do things to get access to help because they’re desperate,” he said.

Some have also raised ethical concerns should access to weight loss medications be linked to employment potential, not least as people may not be in work because of caring responsibilities.

“In my view, let’s treat everyone who needs to be treated,” said Prof Giles Yeo, an expert in obesity at the University of Cambridge. “If we segment society into whether or not you have economic value, and hence whether or not I would treat you, where does that lead us to?”

Yeo added that it is also important people have the right to refuse medications.

“I think these drugs are effective and powerful, I think they’re a tool which should be used appropriately. I think not enough people are getting it at the moment and they should be, and the people who need to [have them] should be getting them,” he said. “We should not be blackmailing people into taking the drugs if they don’t wish to take it.”

And then there are fears that focusing on weight loss jabs risks distracting from preventing obesity. “People already suffering from obesity need help to manage their weight loss journey,” said Cork. “However, altering the environment which has led to the obesity crisis also needs to happen.”

Yeo agreed. “The drugs treat a disease, they don’t prevent a disease,” he said. “I don’t want [the government] to use [these medications] as an excuse not to make the hard policy decisions.”

Streeting’s comments came alongside the announcement of a new five-year study by Health Innovation Manchester and the pharma company Lilly, which is set to explore whether the drugs can not only bring clinical benefits but also have a health economic impact, including changing participants’ employment status.

“For many people, these jabs will be life-changing, help them get back to work, and ease the demands on our NHS,” he wrote in an opinion piece for the Daily Telegraph this week.

Quote:Payments such as universal credit linked to previous September’s figure, meaning a rise of just 1.7% in April

Last month’s surprise fall in UK inflation lands with bad timing for millions of people who receive state benefits linked to the figure, who can now expect their payments to rise by just 1.7% next April.

A number of benefits, including universal credit, are increased each tax year in line with the cost of living figure for the previous September.

The decline in the annual price growth figure in September, driven by falling air fares and transport costs, disguised larger increases in some categories, including food and drink, which recorded inflation of 1.8%.

The Resolution Foundation thinktank said the 1.7% figure would mean that a typical low-income family, with two children, on universal credit would receive an increase of £253 in their annual payment from next April.

It said the fall in the headline rate was likely to be temporary as previous falls in energy prices dropped out of the 12-month inflation calculation, and suggested inflation could increase again in October to 2.2%. If that higher figure were used, the same family would be £74 better off as the annual increase would be £327.

By contrast, state pensioners are protected by the triple lock, which stipulates that their annual increase in payments is in line with whichever is highest of earnings, inflation or 2.5%. Next year, the rise will be in line with wages, meaning an increase of 4.1% in April – adding £473 a year to the full state pension.

Lalitha Try, an economist at the Resolution Foundation, said: “This temporary [inflation] fall is badly timed for millions of low- to middle-income families as it will result in a lower increase in their benefits next year. A more timely measure of benefit uprating would deliver a cash gain to a low-income family with kids of around £74 next year. The government needs to address the age divide in benefits which has left working-age support fall further behind rising wages and living standards.”

September’s inflation figure has also increased market bets that the Bank of England will cut interest rates again to 4.75% when it meets next month, which would be good news for borrowers but would be likely to lead to a cut in savings rates.

Why ukrainians? Why not africans/pakistanis? huh?

Quote:The EU must take into account its limited resources when deciding what to do with the millions of Ukrainians living as refugees in the bloc, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has said.
There are currently around 4.5 million Ukrainian refugees living in the EU. Back in June, the European Commission extended temporary protection status for these asylum seekers until March 2026, guaranteeing them residence, work permits, welfare benefits, and access to healthcare and education until that date.
“We should urgently reflect together on the way forward,” von der Leyen wrote to EU leaders on Monday, stressing that whatever system is put in place after March 2026 should respect “Ukraine’s own needs” and “the limits on our resources.”
“Based on that reflection, the Commission will be able to present proposals” aimed at “managing the situation as long as necessary,” she added.

Von der Leyen’s letter also called for a bloc-wide tightening of immigration rules and border security, including the construction of “return hubs” outside the EU to hold non-Ukrainian migrants whose asylum claims are rejected. The letter came after a string of right-wing victories in regional, national, and European elections this summer, and after a group of 17 member states called on Brussels to allow them to carry out more deportations.

Meanwhile, individual member states are slashing benefits for Ukrainian refugees. In Ireland, where Ukrainians now account for 2% of the population, the government recently cut welfare payments for the refugees in state-provided accommodation from €232 ($253) per week to €39 ($42.55). Irish Minister of State James Browne said last year that Ireland’s generous benefits had caused a “significant increase in secondary movements” of Ukrainians to Ireland from other EU countries.
Ireland is also considering abolishing its program of free housing for Ukrainians next year, the Irish Times reported last week.
As of June 2024, Germany has received almost 1.2 million Ukrainians, making the country their top destination in the EU. With record numbers of migrants arriving from Africa and the Middle East too, German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser warned last month that state and federal resources had been “almost exhausted” dealing with the influx.
In August, another EU member state, Hungary, announced that refugees coming from areas of Ukraine deemed by Budapest to be unaffected by the conflict would no longer be entitled to free accommodation, with exceptions made for vulnerable individuals.

Quote:Hungary could block EU sanctions on Russia if the union’s policies jeopardize its own energy security, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has warned. Budapest will only permit the imposition of restrictions if they retain current exemptions on Russian energy supplies, he said.
The EU prohibited the transport of Russian crude oil by sea in December 2022 as part of its large-scale sanctions campaign against Moscow over the Ukraine conflict. However, landlocked Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic insisted on being granted waivers from the measure due to the lack of alternative supply sources.
“The sanctions are being reviewed in a cycle of six months usually, and as long as the sanctions are on, these exemptions must stay there, because otherwise we would veto the sanctions,” Szijjarto said in an interview with RIA Novosti, published on Tuesday. He emphasized that, for Hungary, the question of sourcing energy from Russia is not a political issue, but a matter of energy security.
Szijjarto recalled that, apart from targeting Russian oil with sanctions, Brussels has also set a goal of abandoning Russian gas by 2028 as part of its REPowerEU plan. He slammed the plan as an “absolutely irrational,” politically motivated decision.

“This approach has nothing to do with physics, with economic competitiveness… with the green transition. This is purely a political commitment, and making political commitments in the field of energy simply doesn’t make sense,” he said, accusing the EU of taking a “dogmatic ideological approach” which is a “no go” for Hungary.
“You replace a source of energy in two cases – number one is if you are unsatisfied with cooperation… two – if you have a better offer… So why would we change an already existing source of energy based on reliable cooperation to something uncertain which on top of that is more expensive?” Szijjarto argued, referring to the EU’s attempts to source supplies in alternative markets, such as the Middle East and the US.
Hungary’s imports of oil from Russia were put in jeopardy earlier this year after Kiev halted the transit of crude supplied by Russian energy giant Lukoil via the Druzhba pipeline, citing sanctions on the company. Budapest slammed the move as “blackmail” over its refusal to cut ties with Russia. It appealed to the European Commission to intervene, but was refused on the grounds that Kiev’s move does not affect the bloc’s energy security. The situation has still not been resolved.

Hungary relies on Russia for roughly 70% of its crude imports, with Lukoil accounting for nearly half of that figure. However, it also receives oil from other Russian companies, such as Rosneft and Tatneft, which have not been sanctioned and continue to pump the commodity through Druzhba.
