Labour received gifts worth £1m from gambling sector

Senior Labour figures have received gifts worth £1 million from betting firms, it has emerged.

Rachel Reeves accepted three tickets for a musical last year from the Betting and Gaming Council, as well as £20,000 in donations to fund her private office from gambling bosses ahead of the general election.

Jonathan Reynolds, the Business Secretary, also accepted a ticket for the European Championship semi-final at Wembley between England and Denmark from a company that owns Ladbrokes and Sportingbet.

The £3,457 ticket and matchday hospitality was given to Mr Reynolds by Entain in July 2021, according to analysis of MPs’ registers of interest by The Times.

Louise Haigh, the Transport Secretary, also received tickets and hospitality for a League One match between Barnsley and Sheffield Wednesday at Wembley in May 2022, among £1,421 of gifts from the firm.

Overall, the party has accepted £1.08 million from figures within, and connected to, the gambling sector, the majority from an ex-casino entrepreneur.

"...according to analysis of MPs’ registers of interest by The Times."

I suppose you'll be claiming that's hidden in plain sight now, not exactly deep undercover reporting.

3/10, must try harder.

Baroness Michelle Mone and husband recieved £29 million of taxpayers money from Boris johnson.And the millions given to Matt Hancock on dodgy ppe deals. Anything Labour has recieved has not come out of the taxpayers purse...Get it.

Poor Keir is only on £ 128k a year and can't even buy his own specs.  For the few, not the many this lot.
