I agree with taxing online casinos a (little) bit more. But this type of framing - or indeed suggesting that any specific tax will automatically lead to the eradication of anything - is not just flawed, but deliberately misleading. Politicians should have to be better than this.

At @10DowningStreet with @AlexBallingerMP, @BeccyCooper4Lab and @38degrees to hand in the petition. Lets tax gambling giants and fund the fight against child poverty. 67,256 people have spoken. Scrap the two-child limit and lift 500,000 children out of poverty.

Really good article with truth about betting shops Av shop £7k per week in revenue, employs about 8 people, pays about £450 per week to racing and pays about £3k a week in taxes (inc payroll, rates etc). After staff/rent, profit per shop about £700, there’s no room to raise tax

Tell me you’ve never worked for a business, managed a budget, or had employees that you’re responsible for without saying it…..this is terrifying stuff lecturing from on top of the intellectual high ground, without even a thought for the potential devastation

Fascinating explanation from Carten Jung from @IPPR on why it is unlikely betting shops will close if taxes go up.



Fascinating price moves overnight following #Caerphilly by election results. @ZackPolanski's @TheGreenParty now as short as 16/1 to win most seats in the the next UK election, was as long as 250/1 yesterday Tory's also saw money overnight which is wild given result in Wales

Below is the change in horse racing betting revenues from 2010-2024. Imagine what this would look like if bookies weren’t supporting racing @ThomasSavill it’s punters not bookies that choose what to bet on. Racing should be asking why they’re betting more on football and slots

Please tell me where I have said that bookmakers haven’t paid enough for racing. And yes, bookmakers do promote racing, but let’s not pretend that they don’t promote online slots more. Slots are far more profitable, so why wouldn’t they?! This has to change.

Bizarre citation of Netherlands which is proving that the Laffer Curve is a alive and well and that tax hikes to gambling don't automatically bring in additional revenue, but instead lower channelisation thereby putting punters at risk of unscrupulous offshore operators.

Proud to be a signatory of this letter on increasing the tax on gambling companies, It's all about priorities! Politics is about choices and priorities.

This could have one of two outcomes. Either FTSE 100 companies will start paying unskilled people £300,000 a year for menial work or the best CEOs will refuse to work for British companies. Impossible to know how it will play out! 🤪

🤑 The average FTSE 100 CEO is now paid 122 times the salary of the average full-time UK worker. ⚖️ The Green Party would introduce a 10:1 pay ratio, meaning the highest-paid employee cannot earn more than ten times the lowest-paid.

Fairly macabre thought that it won't be long until hard-done-by punters start arguing over 'shots on target' but in a far more worrying context What a world we now live in.

Fun fact, almost poetic..... Persimmon (listed UK housebuilder) is named after an Epsom Derby winning racehorse (King Edward VII's most successful racehorse)

Revealed: Roger Devlin, the chairman of housebuilder Persimmon and former chairman of bookmaker William Hill, has been picked by culture secretary Lisa Nandy to become the new chair of the Horserace Betting Levy Board, a key industry body. An announcement is expected later.

It's due to a widespread belief that controlling the message is at least as important as actually doing stuff (with the added benefit that it's also much easier)
