The Daily Mail says NHS patients will soon be able to get weight-loss jabs for the price of a prescription, external – less than £10.
It says that under a pilot scheme, people will need only a short, over-the-counter consultation – but it warns about blowing what it calls a “doughnut-sized hole” in the NHS budget.
The Daily Telegraph, external says the rollout of the jabs has been slow until now, because it has been handled by GPs, and the aim of the new scheme is to make it faster. It says the trial is part of “Britain’s war on obesity”.
The Financial Times says the removal of Mike Waltz as US President Donald Trump’s national security adviser, external was partly because the Maga movement, which stands for Make America Great Again, had turned against him.
It says they felt he was out of step with the president, as he was too willing to use US power overseas. The Times, external describes Trump’s decision as the first significant firing of his second term.
The decision by the Football Association to bar trans women from the women’s game is welcomed by The Sun, external, which says it has “seen sense at last”. Its editorial says the FA has “shown the red card to the gender madness infecting sport”.
The Mail argues the footballing governing body should apologise for its previous policy, but the Daily Mirror quotes one campaigner saying trans women will now turn their back on the game entirely.
The Guardian, external says nine big banks have poured more than £75bn into companies developing huge oil, gas and coal schemes in recent years.
The group which published the figures, which campaigns against fossil fuels, says it’s “astonishing” how much money flows from the UK to what it calls “climate-wrecking” projects.
And it wouldn’t be Britain if the papers weren’t excited by a burst of warm weather. “Hot, hot, hot” is the headline in the Daily Star, external, while the front page of the Daily Mirror, external says the country “sizzled in a May scorcher”.
The Sun goes for “record baker”, while the Telegraph, external fills much of its front page with a striking aerial photo of bathers at an open air pool in Hampshire – but adds that temperatures will be cooler over the bank holiday weekend.
