lmao
Just a lazy repetition of the Corbyn playbook, where the press shoves a microphone in front of anyone - literally anyone - with an axe to grind, and makes them out to be a hero when they're actually a greedy incompetent.

Setting aside the fact that the mock game show did not show him gambling with a credit card but with a debit card, your industry lobbied against the ban on use of credit cards for online gambling. Another example of being dragged kicking and screaming to basic consumer protection
Channel 4’s Million Pound Shot presented a misleading portrayal of Britain’s regulated betting and gaming industry, failing to reflect the strict rules and protections licensed operators must follow.
The programme left viewers with a number of misleading impressions:
➡️ Credit cards were used to gamble, despite credit card gambling being banned in Britain’s regulated sector since 2020.
➡️Contestants openly discussed financial difficulties and redundancy, yet there was no meaningful explanation of the strict requirements on operators to identify and respond to potential markers of harm.
➡️‘Losses disguised as wins’ were presented as an industry practice, despite celebratory effects for returns at or below stake being prohibited under Gambling Commission rules.
➡️The programmes fictional gambling operator used techniques that failed to reflect the customer protection obligations placed on licensed businesses.
These are not minor details. They are fundamental differences between the programme’s portrayal of gambling and the reality of Britain’s regulated industry.
Gambling-related harm is a serious issue and deserves proper scrutiny. But that scrutiny must be fair, accurate and grounded in evidence.
The public deserves facts, not misleading generalisations.

A Labour MP is tweeting about the dangers of oral sex.
This is frankly insane

“Oral sex is the leading cause of throat cancer” is an intentionally misleading headline stigmatizing oral sex.
The leading cause of throat cancer is HPV, which is able to spread because of lack of access to HPV vaccines, condoms, and sex education

🧵1/2: Labour is playing politics with peoples lives.
Greens have always gritted our teeth and worked across party lines to protect local services. When Labour armed Israel, when they backed warmongers in Riyadh, we put aside national politics and worked for local people.

This isn’t a “reform”; it’s a hostile takeover. The US kidnaps Maduro, installs a puppet, and suddenly the country’s assets are on the auction block for Western corporations. This is the textbook definition of a neo-colonial sellout.
🇻🇪 Delcy Rodríguez anuncia que Venezuela devolverá o venderá empresas estatales no esenciales
La vicepresidenta ejecutiva informó que las compañías en manos del Estado consideradas no estratégicas serán ofertadas al sector privado o restituidas a sus antiguos propietarios afectados por procesos de expropiación.

Further evidence of the well-documented phenomenon that supporting Israel and being funny are fundamentally incompatible because apartheid and genocide create a denuded conception of humanity and comedy requires a rich one!
Sacha Baron Cohen personally invested $3 million of his own money into the new Ali G film.
The film is rumored to have cost over $160 million to make, with 54 credited producers, including 13 executive producers.
It has since been pulled from theatres and total box office gross to date is around $3 million.
It is on track to be the biggest box-office flop in history.

Die Schwiegereltern von JD Vance heißen Radhakrishna Chilukuri und Lakshmi Chilukuri. Das ist mit Sicherheit leichter auszusprechen als Jemen oder Iran.
