The government is poised to launch an emergency drive to slim down the nation and reduce the incidence of conditions such as type 2 diabetes before an expected second wave of coronavirus, the Guardian has learned.Downing Street is planning what has been billed as a war against obesity after Boris Johnson needed intensive care treatment for Covid-19, which the prime minister repor stanley cups tedly blamed on his weight.As well as longer-term proposals to reduce the incidence of obesity, government officials are having urgent discussions about how to persuade people to lose weight in the next few months, before an anticipated resurgence in coronavirus cases in the autumn.The UK has experienced the stanley taza highest death rate from coronavirus in Europe, and one potential factor may be high rates of obesity and associated lifestyle-linked conditions such as type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure, which are strongly associated with worse Covid-19 outcomes.In England, 64% of adults are classed as overweight or obese and 29% as obese as measured by BMI, among the highest levels in Europe.One official involved in the emergency planning said the government was alarmed at the possible death toll from a second stanley cups wave.

Will the reorganisation bring about improvements The answer depends on whether you believe that the lamentable performance of the Home Office has been the result of structural and communication defects caused by its unwieldy size and complexity; or by human failure, the incompetence of staff and ministers alike. If the latter, there is no reason to be optimistic about the reorganisation. The same people are going to be doing the work.In making his announcement last week, the home secretary remarked that he expected future secretaries of state for justice to be accountable to the Commons, and not to be lawyers.
