tinyurl.com/3wyfc8xd This is prob BS. The gambling industry is known for its aggressive lobbying lies & bribes to MPs like McVey, & it pays its execs £££ tens, maybe hundreds of millions. Let them cut that if they're so fucking worried. Personally I'd like to see the slots outlawed; they ruin lives

Would a gambling tax rise in the budget really shut shops and cost jobs?

It's almost quaint how so many progressives in the United States still think the US Constitution is a thing. The cat is out of the bag on that one. If Trump has proved anything, it's that ignoring the rule of law is easy, as long as you own Congress, the courts & SCOTUS. Remember that. #r4today

FWIW, rather than fully rejoining the EU, I favour the UK becoming a member of the European Economic Area (EEA) because frankly I din't much care about 'sovrinty' and pragmatically, since about 2000, we have overestimated our influence over EU rules. Well it's worked well for Norway and Iceland.

The pension triple lock is out, and a National Social Care service is planned. What I once thought was a do-not-touch subject was manhandled by Andy Burnham - but will the risk pay off? After a very optimistic, being honest, brilliantly delivered speech, is there a bit of room for hope again?
