Gambling does not cause any ‘social ills’, lobbyist tells incredulous MPs Head of UK’s Betting and Gaming Council was asked to repeat claim as she spoke against increasing taxes on sector in November budget

Boss of the UK’s main betting/gaming lobby group tells MPs there is no “social ill with gambling”, warns govt against higher taxes on the sector.

Jeez ... anything these people won't say for money & protect their paymasters.

Make them bear the social cost of trade. Tax them. Close exploiters.

King Charles lays flowers at national memorial to LGBT+ armed forces veterans Monument honours those whose careers were cut short by the ‘gay ban’ in place from 1967 to 2000

King Charles lays flowers at a memorial for LGBTQ soldiers.
This is the first time a British monarch has attended a public LGBTQ+ event - the old Queen never did.

I wonder if Sarah Pochin ever gets as worked up about the overrepresentation of multimillionaire, privately educated elites in her own party…

I know this is obvious. And I know we all know this.
But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.

A president imposing tariffs (on us) because he’s annoyed (by a real ad not fake) is not how the law works.

We are off the cliff, folks. 🇺🇸

The people of Caerphilly obviously recognise the danger of a Farage led Government, maybe the media could start doing their job and challenge Farage on his tin pot dangerous policies and downright racism.

Sewage pollution and water outages soar in England despite bill increases Pollution incidents have risen almost a third since 2020 as several companies fail to deliver on pledges

Private water companies have ripped off customers and polluted our rivers and oceans for far too long.

It's time to bring them all into public ownership.

Can’t find any cuts. Now Reform U.K. councillors are considering a 10% Council tax rise???

Con artists this lot. Should be nowhere new politics.

Proof that Nigel Farage hardly knew Nathan Gill, the traitor who took Russian bribes.

County Durham free speech laws changed despite warning of 'offensive' language A bid to change free speech laws for councillors in County Durham has been approved.

Reform UK has changed free speech laws in Durham. All because Councillors like Darren Grimes don’t like scrutiny.

They hate accountability.

You have been warned.

🚨 The #Caerphilly by-election is a straight fight between Plaid Cymru and Reform. Every vote counts.

Vote for a local champion who’ll always stand up for his community - not a party that divides it.

🗳️ On Thursday, vote Lindsay Whittle - Plaid Cymru to keep Reform out.

People with HIV report little difference in quality of life compared with matched controls, but more depression A Dutch study presented at the 20th European AIDS Conference (EACS 2025) in Paris compared the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in around 500 older people with HIV with the same n...

New study finds people with HIV experience only marginally lower health-related quality of life - but we are significantly more likely to experience depression than our HIV negative peers.
A report by @aidsmap.bsky.social from #EACS2025.

Reform have suspended 4 cllrs on Kent CC after the leaked video exposing their divisions.

Lib Dems say Reform's meetings "sound more like an episode of The Traitors than the running of a major council."

"All that's missing is for Claudia Winkleman to appear & ask who they're going to banish next."

Listen love, it's obvious I'm a mysoginistic cock.

If you don’t speak out against fascism, in your own name, you’re appeasing fascism.
