The gambling industry is a licence to print money. Tax it properly – and turbocharge the fight against child poverty | Gordon Brown New thinking is urgent now. I have not seen such deep poverty since I grew up in a mining and textiles town blighted by unemployment, says former prime minister Gordon Brown

Gordon Brown’s hard hitting & stark description of child poverty & what our poorest children are going through today with a way forward dealing with the gambling industry

We’re in a child poverty emergency, and it'll only get worse unless the Government does more. Gambling giants don't pay their fair share but taxing them more could raise billions to help children.

I signed this petition. Gambling makes obscene amounts of money while ruining lives by encouraging addiction. Poverty levels are rising too and children should not suffer because of this addiction.
