One does not rebel if one does not have strong views about something.

That is obviously the case.

Re: Tracy Crouch resigns as Sports Minister
Most likely they just want to get one over May.
I doubt they even knew what a FOBT was a few weeks ago.

Re: Tracy Crouch resigns as Sports Minister
Theresa May is facing a mass resignation of ministerial aides.

Sky News has learnt that at least 12 junior government members have written to the chief whip Julian Smith warning they will join a growing Tory rebellion over the timing of a reduction of the maximum stake from £100 to £2.

Re: Tracy Crouch resigns as Sports Minister
This issue aside I think this country does need to look more at how pervasive gambling actually is here. Especially in sport. When you watch football it's almost every television advert, it's on the banners in the stadium, it's on the shirts of quite a few teams, it's even the stadium name for some of them and the biggest broadcaster of football games also has their own gambling services for which odds are shown during the broadcast (I think).
You go the highstreet and slowly each shop will be replaced by either a betting shop or a coffee shop. You pick up a newspaper and several adverts for betting in there too or a new mobile phone (from which you can bet in-play and right now!). It's crazy.

Re: Tracy Crouch resigns as Sports Minister
l think l remember someone talking the other day and apparently over half the clubs in the Premiership have betting firms as their part of their club sponsorship which l don't think personally is right on several counts.
Its like tobacco sponsorship was banned all those years ago but hence since all we have replaced it with is alcoholic companies and gambling companies.

While I dislike TM, I certainly hope she doesnt start giving into basic blackmail, aides can be replaced.

But given her weakness currently she might not have a choice.

Re: Tracy Crouch resigns as Sports Minister
Theresa May confirms, in the light of the amendment signed by Tory MPs, the £2 maximum stake will come into effect in April next year, not October.

Re: Tracy Crouch resigns as Sports Minister
She didn't have much choice as the opposition and the rebel Tory's would have savaged the finance bill in the commons.
The writing's been on the wall on FOBM's for some time so the betting industry has had warning on this.

FOBT'S belong in casino's as the bookies should get back to the bread and butter of what they are known for which is horse racing , greyhounds and other sports.

It does somewhat weaken ones position when you have a PM who's position is so weak currently.
