Britain's love affair with sausage rolls and steak bakes is being quietly reshaped by the rise of weight loss injections, according to the boss of Greggs. Roisin Currie, chief executive of the FTSE-listed bakery chain, said there was "no doubt" that appetite-suppressing drugs such as GLP-1 treatments were influencing how much, and what, customers want to eat, contributing to softer sales and a more cautious outlook for the year ahead.

Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

Greggs reported a 6.9% rise in total sales to £1.3 billion in the first half of the year, with like-for-like sales increasing by 2.6%. However, sales momentum sharply declined in June due to record-breaking heat, leading to reduced foot traffic and weaker demand for core products.
