Featuring on @mrjamesob right now. MHRA issuing warning to Brits ahead of Christmas over-indulgence: don't fall for fake fat jabs. The regulator, and the firm behind the drug, Novo Nordisk, warn of "tremendous harm" caused by syringes purporting to be Semaglutide 👇

Sadly this investigation done by myself @TRJourno @Connor_HandLBC and @fhall1998 - shows this problem is not going away any time soon. Demand is outstripping supply and criminal networks are out to profit from people’s desperation.

And we’re speaking to more and more people who have ended up in hospital after taking black market jabs. This is unfortunately - the tip of the iceberg.

What is being sold out there also varies widely. From pens much like the ones you’d get from a pharmacy - to pre-filled syringe needles in plastic bags. Some tested had semaglutide in them but often at much stronger concentrations than is safe.

All dissenters so far refusing to do interviews or say whether they’ll stand. Although Kurtz told me “it’s not personal”.

The House of Commons Justice Committee has written to government ministers Lord Timpson and Sir Nic Dakin, challenging their claim that resentencing of those under the Imprisonment for Public Protection (#IPP) sentence would result in prisoners being “released automatically”

Awful and very, very sad this story from @LBC @charlotterlynch This isn’t swift justice for anyone involved. Worst still it will deter victims from reporting and allow perpetrators to feel they can act with impunity.

EXCL: 40% more rape victims abandoned court cases in the first six months of this year. I spoke to Chloe*, who’s in the middle of a four year wait for her case to go to trial as the court backlog worsens. @LBC https://t.co/KBfwfvDvKK

Brilliant calm and fair questioning by @vicderbyshire here. Clarkson on the ropes pulls out all tricks to avoid answering questions: > Pretends not to hear her > Tries to test her on the facts (which she knows) > Plucks out random/false figures > Turns to crowd > Blames BBC

VD: "You told the Sunday Times in 2021 that you bought [your farm] to avoid inheritance tax" Clarkson: "I wanted to shoot... which comes with the added benefit of not having to pay inheritance tax..." JC's reason for being at the farmers rally becoming clearer by the second...

“So it’s not about you, it’s not about your farm and the fact you bought a farm to avoid inheritance tax?” @vicderbyshire speaks to Jeremy Clarkson at the farmers’ protest in Westminster where thousands of farmers are protesting the government’s inheritance tax plans.

So much misinformation around today on who will be affected by changes to inheritance tax - and lobbyists pretending the data isn't clear to obfuscate. We have detailed data on estates so the truth is in fact very clear if you care to look 🧵
