And the trade body who represents gambling companies calling the government "economically reckless" for threatening to impose more taxes on them...

I thought they'd love that? Isn't their entire business model built on preying on eocnomic recklessness?

Wild that Betfred think this will drum up sympathy

Sorry people who lose their jobs, but frankly they can shut down all of their stores and I wouldn't give a shit

No empathy for companies who vacuum money out of the pockets of vulnerable people without paying back in

Betfred says all its shops may close if Reeves hikes gambling tax

The company's co-founder says it would be forced to close all its sites, putting 7,500 jobs at risk, if gambling taxes go up.

Went to Katy Perry last night as we found a bunch of very cheap resale tickets and thought it would just be camp and silly

And now I can't stop streaming this classic...

Replace "telling someone to fuck off" with "punching someone in the face so hard they have scar" and I very much can

Big love to the security team at London Bridge, absolutely zero help as per xox

Having finally visited Manchester for the first time - I've gotta say it

I kinda get it

I liked the city a whole lot more than I expected and it did strike me as the kind of place I could imagine living were Sadiq to banish me from London

If anyone claims to see me in Manchester (for the first time)... no you didn't

I arrive on Wednesday evening in order to go to Gaga

I did not accept an invite from YouTube to go to Tory party conference just so I could get free train travel

I am not currently in Manchester

Well precisely!

Maybe I just have a less active imagination than everyone else, as I always imagined it would just be a big plate of nachos

TLDR Jack @tldrjack.bsky.social · 29d

I think you guys had wild expectations - individual nachos as big as my face would be so unweildy and a nightmare hahah

I will say that they were very good, and also pretty huge, this is my hand on top of them (and I have weirdly big hands for a guy my size)
