Poll of over 1000 gives Sunak 36%, Starmer 64%.
I'm glad somebody brought up partygate, it should be mentioned more often leading up to election day.

with any luck, if it is there, it's only present as it's omission would make for a heated discussion in any future tv election debates!

I imagine they might looking into treating all bf traders as self employed and tax them just like any other on profits - losses. After all they might argue its unfair if a certain group are not paying their fair share of tax.

I found this on the business cloud site. But not sure if they mean it should apply to just betting machines or all types of bets ? 
A win for Labour on July 4 could well see changes made to the planned new maximum stake limits. The chair of a cross-party group looking at gambling-related harm is Carolyn Harris who will be attempting to retain her Swansea East seat in the General Election. Her view is that the £2 maximum stake limit should also apply to those aged 25 and over.

Was a bit surprised to see Reform share of vote > 20% is the fav !
==> significantly higher than current polls

Surprised by these results given Starmer's dithering over Corbyn questioning, but there is a theory it's an advantage to go first if you cock-up, and an advantage to go last if you do well.

I must admit, I'm very surprised. This is all there is in the Labour manifesto about gambling.
I suspect they know how much revenue the gaming industry brings, so it appears Labour are not going to change too much initially

Labour manifesto: We will tackle the backlog of Access to Work claims and give disabled people the confidence to start working without the fear of an immediate benefit reassessment if it does not work out. We believe the Work Capability Assessment is not working and needs to be reformed or replaced, alongside a proper plan to support disabled people to work.
There was a time when people on ESA or the old Incapacity Benefit who wanted to work were free to have a go, knowing they have a 13-week safety net if it doesn't work out. The Conservatives scrapped that, leaving hundreds of people claiming sickness benefit on the borderline of working too scared to close their claim and start work, with nothing to fall back on if they find themselves struggling to cope. Could be a good move by Labour. Stopping hounding, threatening and sanctioning sick people and giving them the freedom to get back into work will produce results.
