53,000+ voices are demanding gambling giants pay their fair share 💸 The goal? Lift 500,000 kids out of poverty. Help us reach 75,000 signatures: sign & share today. 38d.gs/6eeq

We’re in a child poverty emergency, and it'll only get worse unless the Government does more.

Gambling giants don't pay their fair share but taxing them more could raise billions to help children.

Many people now realise that leaving the European Union was a mistake, but the question now is, what do we do about it? The years of denial are over, we now need to work out how to fix the calamity that Brexit has caused, and restore our relationship with Europe.

"Everything else has failed, they've broken the seal. They've rubbed the Brexit genie. They've rubbed the Brexit lamp and the genie has emerged to shout 'It was all a terrible mistake and we're all gonna have to start paying for it now. The years of denial and delusion are over.'"
