"With the support of campaigners across the country, we fought, organised and delivered." Excellent from @dawnbutlerbrent.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is a major step forward. The scrapping of the outdated “Aim to Permit” rule will give councils power to say NO to betting shops and slots venues. Well done to all those who made it happen including @dawnbutlerbrent.bsky.social Now let’s go further.

Councils of all political stripes are calling for an end to gambling ads to protect their residents. For an incoming Prime Minister looking to signal change, this would be a popular policy says @willprochaska.bsky.social in Politics Home. www.politicshome.com/members/arti...

Congratulations to @sharonhodgsonmp.bsky.social on her appointment as Minister for Public Health and Prevention. We look forward to supporting her work to prevent gambling harm, which is going to benefit greatly from the Department of Health's leadership.

Concerning reports that @itvx.com will be offering the most harmful gambling products in the world to its customers - us. As a public service broadcaster is this really in the public's service?

10 more councils have joined the Coalition to End Gambling Ads! Local authorities across the UK are stepping up to protect residents from the harms of gambling advertising. cega.org.uk/councils-joi...

'Harm from gambling is not inevitable - it is preventable.' As a start how about: 1️⃣Constrain the addictive products 2️⃣End gambling advertising 3️⃣Shield policy makers from gambling lobbyists @willprochaska.bsky.social on the BBC Red Sofa

We've submitted a complaint to the ASA about this gambling advert by Stake featuring pornographic actress Bonnie Blue. It clearly breaches rules to stop gambling being linked to seduction and appealing to young people. Let's see if the ASA or Gambling Commission do anything about it.

Think what you will of graffiti - sometimes it captures local sentiment perfectly.

'We can't grow the gambling industry and reduce harm at the same time. We really need the Labour Government to grip that principle quickly' @willprochaska.bsky.social speaking to the BBC today about inconsistencies in Labour's approach to gambling policy.

Today's £100m levy on gambling companies is a first step. Here are three reasons from @willprochaska.bsky.social why the Government must go further: 1. Far more people are being impacted than was thought 2. The gambling industry is a deadweight on the economy 3. The public demand change
