Gambling is not evil, and a Restore Britain Government will reduce taxes on the industry. Adults should be free to make their own choices about how they spend their own money - a wild thing for a political party to say, I know. Britain has a successful gambling industry that supports local economies all over the country. In my constituency alone we have horse racing, a greyhound stadium, plenty of arcades and more. We should be encouraging responsible operators to thrive, not taxing them into dust. Problem gambling is an issue and should be properly addressed. But punishing an entire industry, costing thousands of jobs, for the actions of a very small number is not the answer. Restore Britain will back British gambling.

Prichard Colon has passed away aged 33, his father has confirmed on social media. Colon was a rising Puerto Rican boxer who suffered a brain haemorrhage and was in a coma for seven months after the first defeat of his career in 2015. When he awoke, Colon never fully recovered from the brain damage. He was cared for by his family until his passing.
