TURNING Britain into a nanny state was necessary to stop overwhelming the NHS, Sir Keir Starmer suggested yesterday.
He doubled down on plans for children’s tooth brushing lessons, a smoking ban and no junk food ads before 9pm.

The PM insisted the policies would drastically reduce common health problems to ease pressure on the struggling service.
At an ambulance training centre in East London, Sir Keir said that nanny state prevention tactics were key to his ten-year plan to revive the NHS.
The PM added: “The most common reason for going to a children’s hospital is to have your teeth pulled.
“That’s what led us to supervised brushing.
“Some said that’s the nanny state but, if the cost of not doing it is children losing their teeth, then that’s a necessary measure.”
On the smoking ban, Sir Keir vowed to bring forward a Bill even more ambitious than the one planned by predecessor Rishi Sunak.
He said: “It will be transformational for what is still one of the biggest killers.”
