The Sun Newspaper Wages War Against Gambling Taxes – While Holding Huge Betting Stakes Itself Rupert Murdoch's paper recruits Nigel Farage, Conservative and Labour backbenchers for ‘Save Our Bets’ campaign – while holding lucrative betting partnerships worth millions

The Sun's 'Save Our Bet' stories and editorials have almost entirely failed to mention that the paper is itself a gambling company – making millions of pounds a year from its Sun Vegas and Sun Bingo arms, and therefore stands to lose out financially by any so-called ‘sin taxes’ on the sector

This is farcical. Katie Lam didn't speak "imprecisely". She accurately stated the Conservative party's existing policy, which they tried to pass as a Bill in Parliament earlier this year, and which Badenoch's spokesman defended himself just last week.

China bought 27 million metric tons of soybeans from US farmers in 2024. But somehow this “deal” to buy significantly less is a huge victory.

Pass it on.

Labour’s scandals are so pathetically small. A few thousand quid, or a couple of Taylor Swift tickets. They need to up their game to millions on PPE.

Minority representation on TV causes outrage There has been widespread way of life and their strange support for prominent Reform MP customs, but Reform MPs Sarah Pochin after she complained about the over-representation of comprise only 0.7 percent of the minorities on television. House of Commons. Yet Nigel Farage is on Question Time Said one angry viewer, "She's more than Fiona Bruce. right. Every time you turn on "I'm not prejudiced. Some of the telly there's another Reform MP being interviewed by Laura my best friends are swivel-eyed loons, but enough is enough. Kuenssberg." There are too many people with She added, "I respect their angry red faces on television."

Private Eye.

Art of the Deal.

“He was very strong on congratulating me.”

Does Badenoch think though? It always seems more like posturing and fake outrage.

Nothing to see here. No conflicts. No oversight hearing needed. Comer is still too busy with Biden stuff.

We really did serve the people of Hong Kong a great injustice.

You say cuddle. I say gobble.

How brain dead and divorced from reality can one person be? They are obviously proud of two lots of former small boat people - the Celts and the Anglo-Saxons though.

Right then guys, strap in, because it's gonna get weird.

Colin Seeberger comments, “He’s talking about making people with preexisting conditions pay more. Here we go again.” Below is a tweet from Aaron Rupar quoting Senator John Kennedy saying: “Bringing back high risk pools, which have been outlawed under the ACA.” The attached CNN screenshot shows a split-screen interview with Kennedy and the anchor discussing Republican healthcare ideas.

“High risk pools” are groups where insurance companies put those with preexisting conditions. Don’t let them hide the ball.

Social post by President Donald J. Trump that says: 'Worked really hard, 24/7, took in Trillions of Dollars, and Chuck Schumer said trip was “a total dud,” even though he knows it was a spectacular success. Words like that are almost treasonous!!!'

If the trip were really a ‘spectacular success,’ you wouldn’t need to threaten people for saying otherwise.

How can a trip make trillions? Surely this is just an expectation rather than reality.

Isn’t Grindr always “going down” in DC? 🤔

Bill de Blasio - indeed both Bills de Blasio - should sue The Times for blaming him(them) for its woeful incompetence.

JD Vance wants his wife to convert to Christianity.

I’d imagine that any woman who marries a man like Vance will always put her long term goals ahead of her own opinions.

Could that possibly be the rich white men in charge? 🤔

So why does the BBC label the academic and economist Faiza Shaheen an "activist" but refuse to do the same for the former academic, turned anti-migrant activist Matt Goodwin?

I suspect the judge may bring this up at the sentencing hearing. Just a hunch.

I always get drawn back to Al Gore telling voters that he’d only raise taxes on the top 1% and then after the election a poll showed that something like 20% of voters thought they were in the top 1% and another 20% thought they would be in the next five years. Just a total tragic disconnect.

They must expect a lot of people all over the country to be really upset about something next year. I wonder what that could be?

I keep being told spending cuts are easy. Honest proposals such as those recently outlined by Policy Exchange show they are not

That was so obvious. Thank the lord that someone used an ouija board to contact some dead Victorian economists. Of course the workers should work until they die in poverty. It’s worth it so we don’t have to tax the rich. We were born to make money for these vampires.
