The truth about weight loss jabs - Which?


We sit down with senior investigative researcher Sara Spary to uncover the truth behind the UK's massive online weight loss jab market. With over 1.6 million people now using these injections, Which? investigated whether online pharmacies are prescribing medications like Wegovy, Ozempic and Mounjaro responsibly. We reveal how easy it is to bypass safety checks by falsifying medical data, we look into the murky world of "off-label" prescribing and address the heavy marketing tactics flooding social media algorithms.

What are the UK Government doing about rising ticket prices? - Which?


We sit down with Kate Dearden MP, Minister for Employment Rights and Consumer Protection, to ask what Kier Starmer's Labour government is doing to protect you, before a debrief with our Head of Consumer Rights and Food Policy, Sue Davies. With World Cup ticket prices in the headlines we ask when action will be taken to tackle expensive tickets here in the UK, while we also ask why dangerous and illegal products are still for sale on online marketplaces despite laws being in place to stop this happening. Kate also addresses 'subscription traps' and a new crackdown on subscription traps for things like recipe boxes and streaming sites forcing them become more transparent and easier to cancel. We unpack all of this with Sue Davies, who breaks down what this could mean for UK consumers, as well as what the future may hold. At Which, we have campaigned for tighter controls to prevent fake reviews online - we ask what action we can expect to be taken? As well as asking why consumers are still being let down through rip-off and often misleading pricing practices. 01.00 - Concerns around 'deregulation' which could harm consumers 01.56 - Dangerous and illegal products for sale on online marketplaces 04.20 - Tradesperson injured by dangerous ladder 06.25 - 'Subscription traps' and why it will soon be easier to cancel 10.36 - Why 'drip-pricing' lead to confusing and unfair prices 11.35 - When will the government act on fake reviews and restore trust for consumers 13.40 - Will the government be able to commit to action? 14.20 - Ticket prices and why ticket touts are damaging the live music industry 16.20 - Why wasn't legislation announced in the King's speech? 17.17 - We ask what the government hope to achieve by May 2027 19:30 - Understanding the link between consumer protection and growth 21:00 - What we can expect from the consumer action plan 22:30 - Which?’s work on subscription traps 24:09 - Could we see a decrease in drip pricing and fake reviews? 27:04 - What could we expect from the online marketplace consultation? 28:32 - Why the pace of change can be frustrating 32:00 - The future of ticket touts 36:19 - What would we like to be celebrating for consumers in a year’s time? #ticket #ticketprices #netflix #food #fake #fakereviews #food #illegal #injured #government #kierstarmer #dangerous
