With the plethora of delivery apps available, there's really no reason to leave the house anymore. So I decided that for a week, I simply wouldn't leave.

For five days straight, I ordered all of my food via delivery apps. I downloaded all my workout plans. I purchased everything from lightbulbs to manicures online, to be delivered and completed in my little apartment in Brooklyn, New York.

Builders of Britain, hoist up your trousers! The Department of Health's newest minister has you firmly in her sights.

In a move likely to elicit cries of “nanny state” from building sites throughout the country, newly-appointed public health minister Jane Ellison has announced her first priority - urging construction workers to “get into shape”.

Thirty companies have already signed up to a number of measures, which include urging staff canteens to serve healthier, low fat, low salt meals - replacing the traditional builders' breakfast of bacon, sausage and eggs.

In an unusually vivid policy announcement, DH officials said that “the image of the bottom-baring, overweight builder” would be replaced by “workers who are hands-on, well-oiled machines”.

Other actions recommended to companies signed up to the “Responsibility Deal Construction Pledge” include regular health checks for workers, stop smoking clubs and extra help for employees with long-term sickness to get back into work.
