💬 Sally Jameson MP was right to highlight the risks of hiking taxes on online horseracing bets at Treasury oral questions today. We look forward to meeting @Dan4Barnet ahead of the Budget. #AxeTheRacingTax

Great to be on the @BHAHorseracing podcast to talk about the historic #AxeTheRacingTax campaign. The Government must change course and bin their proposed tax hikes before they damage a much loved sport, lose thousands of jobs and further fuel the gambling black market.

🎙️ On an extraordinary and historic day for racing, The #BHApodcast comes to you from Westminster. With all fixtures today rescheduled, racing's leaders headed to the heart of Government to share the #AxeTheRacingTax message with a single voice. 🎧 britishhorseracing.com/podcast
