Many people worked with Waseem or met him, but very few truly knew him. Our journey together lasted more than 23 years, and over that time he became far more than a colleague, he became family.

At @commonshealth.bsky.social we heard from major supermarkets on their role in promoting healthier diets and food environments.
With voluntary action failing to curb obesity, I was keen to hear their views on whether stronger, mandatory policies are now needed.

They’ve just welcomed dozens of ex-Tory MPs, the same same people who gave us 14 years of chaos, a crashed economy, and brutal austerity.
