Drive out cowboys Anyone seeking cosmetic work should do so in the knowledge it is safe and carried out by a professional. But at the moment hundreds of unregulated clinics offer cut-price and often dangerous treatments by unqualified staff. Rogue outlets have cost lives and left hundreds with life-changing injuries.
That is why the Mirror is launching a campaign to ban cosmetic cowboys. We are calling for beauty clinics offering potentially dangerous procedures such as Brazilian butt lifts and liposuction to be licensed by the Quality Care Commission. In addition, clinics would be legally bound to ensure procedures are surgically safe and carried out only by medical professionals.
And it should be a legal requirement for practitioners who offer non-surgical interventions to have malpractice insurance. Spain and Australia have similar laws. It is time Britain followed suit and drove the charlatans and cowboys out of town.
Rules matter There was a time when Labour MPs lined up to attack the financiers and bankers in the City of London. Yesterday Rachel Reeves sang the praises of the UK’s financial sector. In a major speech, the Chancellor set out plans to create pension “megafunds” similar to ones in Canada and Australia.
These would then invest in housing, transport and business. Few will oppose this if it unleashes billions to help local communities and create jobs. But it is worrying she believes regulation of the financial sector has “gone too far”.
