Today I handed in the petition to Downing Street! More than 42,000 of you have told the government you’re fed up with slots venues. Thank you to all who signed. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/stop…

'It’s a sorry indictment of football authorities that players like Paqueta get read the riot act for gambling offences whilst his club is enabled to promote dangerous gambling products to fans.' @willprochaska on West Ham's new sponsorship deal. dailymail.co.uk/sport/football…

Government policy is to grow the gambling industry. That means more addiction and more suicide. Time for a rethink. - Clean Up Gambling.

🎰 Gambling reform is needed – today's BBC investigation into Adult Gaming Centres shows why. Now, we’re teaming up with Social Market Foundation to explore how local authorities can be better empowered to tackle gambling-related harm on Britain’s high streets 👇 brent.gov.uk/news-in-brent/…

I reacted to BBC File On 4's investigation into the failure of gambling venues to protect customers - which won't be a surprise to anyone except apparently the Government (Department for Culture, Media and Sport) and the Regulator (Gambling Commission).

👏Huge congratulations to Haringey Council for being recognised at the MJ awards - not least for their pioneering decision to be the first Council to join the Coalition to End Gambling Ads!

I'm calling for a parliamentary debate on the “aim to permit” rule that forces councils to approve new gambling shops, even when high streets are already overrun and communities object. Local voices should matter. Community cohesion should matter. Let's put people before profit.

We are very proud to have supported this pamphlet from The Fabian Society authored by Dr Beccy Cooper MP. It's time for a new approach to gambling regulation in Britain.

Thank you to Dr Beccy Cooper MP, Officer of the Gambling Reform APPG, for continuing to raise awareness of the need to treat gambling as a public health issue in the The Fabian Society latest pamphlet.

Spoke in two separate talks this morning at a conference in Nantes about my lived experience role in a gambling related suicide project as well as my PhD research into coroners and GRS suicide death investigations. First time presenting my work in this way but managed it!

Gambling harm ruins lives – and the current system isn’t doing enough to stop it. I spoke to PoliticsHome about why we need urgent action and tougher rules on online gambling. Read the full piece here 👉 politicshome.com/news/article/l…

Gambling harm is a serious public health issue and should be addressed in the same way as other addictive products I asked the Secretary of State if he agreed that addressing gambling addiction should be led by the Dept of Health rather than the Dept for Culture, Media & Sport

Asylum seekers using benefits to gamble - I'm surprised the gambling industry hasn't put adverts up on the white cliffs. Seriously - if you enter a country where gambling is normalised and is pitched as a way out of poverty, is this a surprise? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

GambleAware no more. Interesting day for industry funded social aspect PR organisations. 👀 @drinkaware gambleaware.org/what-we-do/new…

⭐️ New gambling shop blocked ⭐️ Peterborough City Council has turned down the application to turn the former Wilko store into a gambling & fruit machine place. This is good news for the city. A huge thank you to everyone who has been in touch with me about it. This decision
