If advertising in general or specifically on football shirts did not boost the profile of the product and then lead to more consumers of that product, then nobody would advertise on the shirts! They know it works that’s why they do it. https://twitter.com/the_bigstep/status/1542466855289380866
Watch this for hard-hitting, evidence based opposition to a gambling sponsorship ban 😅

There’s a sick irony in British nationalists demanding the SNP focus on the cost of living, the economy and sorting our social ills when it was the Unionist Tory government that caused those problems.

Not much solidarity from this Stratford Upon Avon audience. I really despair for politics in many parts of the UK.
Also @redditchrachel was incorrect, the UK Gov't has absolutely not legislated to prevent #FireAndRehire. I've had 3 bills to ban it, they've not backed any.

📢 The benefit cap is unjust. We’re calling on @RishiSunak to raise it in line with the % uprating of benefits. 📢
If he fails to act, households already blocked from getting their full social security entitlement will be pulled into deeper poverty. We can’t let that happen.
Six years ago today this happened.
Then the British state insisted that the big yellow bit at the top had to be coloured blue anyway.
Partnership of equals.
This time last week we were handing in our #ScootAware petition.

The gambling white paper must push for a smart statutory levy on the gambling industry to fund research, education and support.
Nothing less is acceptable.
Who is calling the shots?
The @GOVUK or the gambling industry?
