Good.

It really emphasises the point that these young people can have no proper understanding of the issues so as to give informed consent (or “assent”, as it’s termed).

Byjimminy · 20/02/2026 20:11

Good.

TwoLoonsAndASprout · 20/02/2026 20:11

Thank fuck.

Now, as OP said, shut it down.

ProfessorRedshoeblueshoe · 20/02/2026 20:12

Great - thanks

Dragonasaurus · 20/02/2026 20:12

That’s excellent news, yes hope it gets stopped.

I do wonder how ‘applying the highest ethical standards’ was interacting with offering £500 to take part…..

Helleofabore · 20/02/2026 20:12

Watching with interest. Thanks OP.

FranticFrankie · 20/02/2026 20:13

Good news
'New concerns'????

Seriestwo · 20/02/2026 20:15

This is great news. It’s bad science

GargoylesofBeelzebub · 20/02/2026 20:16

Hopefully it’ll be kicked into the long grass.

PersonIrresponsible · 20/02/2026 20:17

Well done James Esses and his 140k petitioners!!

"Can down the road kick hard" is the modus operandi of this government so it's a positive result!

It can now be quietly forgotten.

IwantToRetire · 20/02/2026 20:19

Does this mean they have actually recognised that there are "concerns – directly related to the wellbeing of children and young people"

Jackiebrambles · 20/02/2026 20:19

This is such good news, it needs to just not happen!

ParmaVioletTea · 20/02/2026 20:23

Oh thank goodness. There is no way this could have been an ethical trial.

MrsOvertonsWindow · 20/02/2026 20:24

At last. Long overdue for some adults to remind the captured medics that experimenting on children as young as 8 with these drugs is putting them in grave danger.

ThisIsMyGCname · 20/02/2026 20:26

Good

EmpressaurusKitty · 20/02/2026 20:27

Brilliant.

CrocsNotDocs · 20/02/2026 20:29

I hope the children who were lined up for this trial get good quality support. The irresponsible adults around them should never have put them in this situation. I hope that with maturity and about 10 more years of life experience, they can look back and see what a bullet they dodged.

Edited

I’ll echo that. It should never have been promised, or sold as any sort of solution to this mess. The mental health of these people is generally rock bottom, they need actual help.

AMansAManForAllThat · 20/02/2026 20:31

I’m amazed! I can’t understand how they changed their mind. They had all the information all along. I mean, thank goodness, but still.

Bluebootsgreenboots · 20/02/2026 20:36

Wow. Brilliant.

peacefulpeach · 20/02/2026 20:37

Good news.

The gvt website states ‘The MHRA has now raised new concerns – directly related to the wellbeing of children and young people – and scientific dialogue will now follow with the trial sponsor’

Shocker 🙄

If being transparent they should be listing what the ‘new concerns’ are. But again shocker - they’re not.

solerolover · 20/02/2026 20:37

Excellent! How such a trial has even been allowed to happen in the first place is beyond me.

StripeySuperNova · 20/02/2026 20:39

That Telegraph articles mentions discussing raising the age to 14. At 14 they can have 2 years of puberty blockers then onto cross sex hormones.
