My fellow peers hell bent on stopping this Bill need to wake up and smell the coffee. Assisted dying backers could use archaic procedure to bypass ‘undemocratic’ block by peers | Assisted dying | The Guardian theguardian.com/society/2026/j…

🚨 British racing faces an unprecedented threat – a tax raid which could see it lose £66 million a year and tip it into irreversible decline. We need to stop the racing tax before it's too late. ✍️ Click below to sign the petition to #AxeTheRacingTax and help save our sport ⤵️

What a fantastic video. Great work @arenaracingco ! This brilliantly captures what 85k people working in racing across the UK know about the positive impact horses and racing have on our country.

Very sad news. David was a huge racing fan, advocate for the sport & a good friend. Despite our different political backgrounds, I really enjoyed working with him on the Lords Digital committee and talking about racing whenever we could. He will be much missed by many.

Lord Lipsey was a staunch supporter of British horseracing and formerly an APPG member. Our condolences to his family at this incredibly sad time.

British horse racing is the best in the world, but its funding model is broken. Securing a levy deal in racing’s favour and setting out a plan to significantly increase prize money are essential to the industry’s future success.

Horse racing is a £4.1 billion British success story, and derives much of its income from responsible gambling. Today I asked the Secretary of State if she will reform the Betting Levy and disproportionate affordability checks.

Parliamentarians made it clear social media companies should enforce Ts&Cs banning under-13s. Filth, predators and algorithms that screw with your head. It's baffling and wrong that @Ofcom is giving them a pass. Peers' letter asking for a re-think.👇 telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/06/1…
