London's saying NO to Gambling Ads. Sadiq Khan has wanted them off London Transport since 2021, but a lack of policy guidance from central government is getting in his way. Will Wes Streeting Andrew Gwynne MP act?

'I’m sick of it. I’m fed up with being bombarded by gambling adverts before and after games.' Iain Duncan Smith MP Chingford & Woodford Green isn't alone. Families are all sick of it. Time to End Gambling Ads. telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/…

The UK’s the exception pretty much anywhere in the free world.” - Iain Duncan Smith MP Chingford & Woodford Green telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/…
