This is purely down to lobbying from the gambling operators. Numerous Labour MPs have received money from this extremely bent source.

Yes, they should be banned, but those ads are making some people very rich. That seems to be all that matters these days.

Every other add I see seems to be for online gambling, including on tv channels. Why not, I don’t know, ban them?

21,289 CONFIRMED, IDENTIFIED children killed by "The World's Most Moral Army". Thousands more buried under rubble. Thousands of those children weren't accidental, "collateral damage": they were sniped at, their schools, social centres, homes, and hospitals were targeted, their tents were bombed...

More than 100 Labour MPs have written to the Home Secretary opposing the governments proposed immigration reforms - that’s a quarter of the parliamentary Labour Party - and that was before new figures which have exposed the government’s £10bn claim as a complete fiscal fantasy

They've already lost their position as "the dominant party on the left of British politics", because they're no longer on the left.

Will be so glad to see the back of them. They are dire.

If Labour don't want people to have money to spend ,the economy is not going to grow simple. They don't seem to have a clue in power.

Isn't it odd how the right leaning media in the uk who are quite happy to attack UK Labour on almost everything but they NEVER ask these questions.

People in England instead of questioning why Scotland has no tuition fees, no prescription charges and free hospital parking why dont you question why you dont?

This is unforgivable from Labour too. They are just keeping us poorer even when we retire. What happened to taxing billionaires? And big corps who don't pay enough tax ?

Good public services —that truly help the people— are built up slowly over many years of investment from the citizens. Privatisation steals all of that. It's not just a single theft: It's like going back in time & robbing from every year. Perpetrators should go to jail for life. #Renationalise

I gave the Green Party a donation to help fight Gorton and Denton and the hope the Green Party gave me by winning (and seeing Labour get hammered) made it worth every single penny. I've just done the same for the local elections. I want to feel that hope again on May 8th
