Probably worth saying that gambling firms prop up The Sun through millions Β£ in advertising and referral deals.
For some reason they don't point that conflict of interest out on their front page story against gambling taxes today (save for a promo note that it "includes Sun Bingo and Sun Vegas")
And today The Sun have roped in Nigel Farage to back their massively self-serving campaign against higher taxes on gambling

Need to pay as much attention to the unheard majority who fear that form of politics
Reform lost by 11% in Caerphilly - because of a surge in turnout, because Reform looked set to win the seat.
This illustrates Reform's vulnerability *because* they are leading the polls (in a 6 party system) while being an *unpopular* party. A much bigger problem under FPTP 2029 than PR 2026
I know it was a different time but imagine if my PTSD was recognised by 10 or even 15?
Would I be in this state? And I don't have it as bad as others.
We still live in a society where we can only treat things when they get to a severe stage :(
My OCD wasn't diagnosed until 37 and I was told it was an affect of my PTSD which wasn't officially diagnosed until I was also 37. That trauma was from when I was 7. It took 30 years. And it was in the US.

We recognise that true national renewal must begin in our communities.
We know that politics and decision-making should be driven by communities themselves, shaped from the ground up.
This new era of community empowerment is essential to building a more Community Britain.
