AMANDA PLATELL: It's not MY fault you're fat... so why should I pay for it?
Though the NHS is in crisis, with 7.4 million people still languishing on the waiting list for appointments and treatment, we are now told that fat-busting drugs such as Mounjaro will soon be as widely available as statins from your doctor, as accessible as a packet of Smarties for the overweight.
Jolly good, but since nearly a third of the adult population are now considered obese there's one very big elephant in the room: the question of how much this will cost us taxpayers who do not happen to be fat.
