But the first thing is the age verification, right? Like banning it completely for the under 16s.
James BethellGUEST
Well, what it opened my eyes up to is, well, firstly, the age verification can work.

Anna TaylorHOST
James, any reflections that you might have on the report? Anything surprising? Any particular bits of insight that you wanted to highlight?
James BethellGUEST
There is an unbelievably successful business, an industry that is really thriving, that is formed of three amazing pillars that are all firing on all cylinders.
James BethellGUEST
The first is the nature of the food that is being bought by the British public in increasingly large quantities.
James BethellGUEST
A lot of it based around a formula of salt, sugar and fat that is incredibly tasty, appealing and enjoyed thoroughly by the British public who are prepared to pay good money to eat it.
James BethellGUEST
Secondly is the method of delivery, which is increasingly out of home or delivered to home.

What are the other issues in getting this race up and running, which I can imagine could be seen in similar terms in visibility to the London Marathon, for example?
Why is Labour sacking MPs?

Iain DaleHOST
Um, James, what- what's your take on this report that's been released today on physician associates? Ian, this has been a really nasty, vicious battle-
James BethellGUEST
I think it's probably right that physician associates should not be diagnosing public, members of the public as they walk into GP surgeries.
