How can anyone be against safer gambling?
This week is Safer Gambling Week when we come together to promote better education and awareness, encourage even more people to use safer gambling tools like deposit limits and time-outs, and crucially when we signpost the advice, support and help that’s available to anyone who may be struggling. From betting shops to bingo clubs, casinos and online operators, and for the first-time betting operators in Ireland and across Europe too, it is an incredible show of unity to promote safe betting and gaming.

The new government must prioritise education

Laurence Robertson MP: Taking an evidence-based approach to betting will see increased growth across the UK
After a turbulent few weeks, in which we changed Prime Ministers and so very sadly lost Her Majesty The Queen, government is back in full swing, taking bold steps to tackle the big issues. It won’t be an easy ride and there is plenty for the new Prime Minister to tackle. Growing the economy by delivering The Growth Plan, staring down Russia over its illegal invasion of Ukraine and tackling the energy crisis are huge issues facing the nation.

Hungry children, a political choice?
The National Education Union is proud to work with The Mirror on a joint campaign – Free School Meals for All. We demand that no child in primary school face the pain and distress of going hungry. Children cannot learn if they are not eating properly and, despite the best efforts of parents and carers, spiralling living costs are pushing families to the edge.

Our new Prime Minister must get gambling reform right
Within a matter of days, we will have a new PM and a new Government. Any celebrations will be short lived. Because whoever wins the keys to Number 10 will face a tsunami of trouble. A mounting cost-of-living crisis, inflation and energy bills soaring to stratospheric levels, war in Europe and a recession just around the corner. With that in their in-tray on Day One, it’s fair to say reforms to gambling will be pretty low on the Government’s agenda.
