I, like @Keir_Starmer , am staggered that the Prime Minister has seemed to agree with that the UK was inadequately prepared for the pandemic. 12 years too many! #PMQs — PolitiTweet.org

'When someone tells you who they are, believe them the first time' Boris Johnson has told us AND shown us that he is a duplicitous lair. He even lied about being sorry for breaking his own rules- telling Tory MPs 'I'd do it again' What more convincing do Tory MPs need? #PMQs — PolitiTweet.org

8/8 at the heart of the White Paper, this government will have missed a once in a generation opportunity to bring analogue legislation into a digital era, to radicalise what is a currently toxic environment and to, without a shadow of a doubt, save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Carolyn Harris MP @carolynharris24

7/8 Funding that can be spent on adequate research, education and treatment. Only between 2 and 3% of people with gambling problems enter the treatment system, all of which are self-referrals. With a statutory levy, this can change. It’s clear to me that without a statutory levy — PolitiTweet.org

Carolyn Harris MP @carolynharris24

6/8 A 1% levy on industry revenue would provide £130m of funding. This would improve the disparity the UK have compared to other nations. Australia spends £368 per gambler, Canada spends £329, New Zealand spends £413 and the UK spends a paltry £19 per gambler — PolitiTweet.org

Carolyn Harris MP @carolynharris24

5/8 the levy should be graduated on the polluter pays principle, so that companies offering more harmful gambling products pay a correspondingly higher proportion of the levy, so that land based providers like bingo halls pay less than a giant monopolised online operator. — PolitiTweet.org

Carolyn Harris MP @carolynharris24

4/8 place the collection of levy donations onto a statutory footing should the voluntary arrangement be shown not to be working, which it is clearly not. DCMS should use already existing powers requiring operators to pay an annual levy to the Gambling Commission. — PolitiTweet.org

Carolyn Harris MP @carolynharris24

3/8 can allocate. Operators decide when donations are made and who contributions go to. This prevents long term planning as some operators contribute as little as a few pounds. As set out in the 2005 Gambling Act there are already provisions in legislation for the Government to — PolitiTweet.org

Carolyn Harris MP @carolynharris24

2/8 contributions from gambling operators, at 0.1% of their Gross Gambling Yield, going to GambleAware. As contributions are voluntary, individual operators are able to vary the size of their donation, meaning there is no consistency year on year of how much funding GambleAware — PolitiTweet.org
