Sugar tax..........there is already a 20% VAT rate on sweets. Unfortunately that 20% rate is also charged on low calorie sugar substitutes (such at teeth protective Xylitol). That tax should come off!!! Times Radio are too dumb to think of that

@mattbooth307 7 месяцев назад

Sugar tax needs to go or be reformed. They (the drinks companies) are just loading up their drinks with sweeteners, which actually RAISE blood sugar levels. It's done wonders for dental health, but is absolutely ruining gut health. That's more likely that dental stats have dropped given the severe lack of NHS dentist places. There's many more crohns and colitis diagnoses over the last 10 years since the sugar tax was introduced. They're horrendous chemicals and taste terrible.

@xtc2v 7 месяцев назад

Xylitol is found naturally in plants. It can be produced by fermentation. Nothing we eat is totally safe either. However a web search tells me that sweetners do not raise blood sugar. What is your source to support your statement that it does?@@mattbooth307

The only thing that the Tories have impressed me with is support for Ukraine. Britain has consistently made others look like bickering fools by stepping up with support at the right time. The attitude towards Putin is a standout, and I would actually break the habit of a lifetime and vote against Labour if I sense any hesitation by them because it is so important for our children's futures. I do not want my kids in a War with Russia in a few years because Putin was allowed to butcher Ukraine. Labour needs to ditch the romantic socialists who still sympathize with some silly idea about Russia. Any weakness or backing down now will spell disaster.

Interviewer didn't recognise when she'd lost the argument on accusing him of lying. When she moved on to say "so you're happy to indulge in a bit of that back and forth", she hadn't actually made a solid case to show that he had been lying, and Starmer had quite effectively defended his position on the two comments she'd brought up. By saying "hey, that was actually a Sunday Times story" it becomes incredibly hard for her to argue that Starmer is a liar unless she additionally alleges that her colleagues who wrote the story are liars (not just misinformed) and also that Starmer is somehow in on it. Classic lawyer manoeuvre there. And on the Farage video, making clear that he was precise with his wording specifically in order to avoid telling a mistruth is, in lawyer terms, a challenge- he is saying to her "I don't think you know what I said and I am happy to fight you on that ground." Generally, if a lawyer is taking this stance it's because they know they are right. It felt like she had that line ready for when he slipped up, but ran with it anyway despite his robust response. People have to recognise that Starmer is a lawyer first and a politician second, and if you want to argue with him you have to acknowledge him as such. You're not going to catch him out telling porkies in an interview. He has literally dedicated his working life to speaking very carefully and analysing statements thoroughly to meet the scrutiny of the law. It's a fight you will lose every time.
