Labour vows to ban junk food adverts during popular TV shows according to : Coventry Telegraph

The money would be used to expand the public health workforce and help with promotional schemes. We spent £3.4 billion on public health programmes last year - that can only be funded by a strong economy which Corbyn would risk with his nonsensical economic ideas."
