The Labour leader said it was “shocking” to learn the most common reason for children, aged six to 10, being in hospital was dealing with tooth extraction.

Sir Keir Starmer defended plans to have supervised tooth-brushing sessions in some schools, and warned anyone calling it the “nanny state” to “bring it on”.

Visiting a children’s hospital in Liverpool, he told the BBC’s Hugh Pym not to take action over the number of obese children was “fundamentally wrong”.
