[Paul Beck (Spectre) @PaulBeck3001]

An open challenge to @jranoyes, @mattzarb and @WillProchaska.

What do you say to a proper, public debate?

You three on one side. @DanielWaugh6, @chrisgambler247 and me on the other.

@nickluck has always struck me as fair, knows racing and betting inside out, and would be an ideal independent host assuming he’d be willing.

No echo chamber. No friendly panel. No carefully selected audience. No hiding behind 280-character exchanges.

Just three against three, equal time, a neutral chairman and the evidence on the table.

Let’s examine the claims and statistics that are repeatedly being used to influence gambling policy and see which actually survive scrutiny.

Let’s debate the differences between gambling products and their relative harms.

Let’s debate affordability and financial-risk checks.

Advertising.

The black market.

Gambling-related suicide statistics.

The GSGB and the 1.3/1.4 million figure.

Racing and the consequences of reform for its 85,000+ directly and indirectly supported jobs.

And let’s discuss something that receives considerably less attention:

Funding. Relationships. Commercial interests. And who may ultimately benefit from the regulatory architecture being advocated.

That includes the documented connections between campaign organisations, funders, advisers, technology businesses and Parliamentary activity.

Nobody gets ambushed. Sources can be supplied in advance. Any factual claim should be capable of being challenged by either side.

You regularly say that your position is evidence-led.

Good. Let’s test the evidence.

And let’s do it publicly, in full, with neither side controlling the room.

I’m perfectly prepared to have my own arguments challenged in exactly the same way.

So here’s the challenge:

Will you three debate us three. YES or No?

If there’s a genuine scheduling problem, fine. Name alternative dates.

If you don’t like the proposed chairman, suggest another genuinely independent one.

But let’s not pretend that another one-sided conference panel is a substitute for having the arguments tested by informed people who disagree with you.

You have spent considerable time asking Government and Parliament to accept your evidence. Are you prepared to defend it when knowledgeable opponents are sitting across the table?

@jranoyes, @mattzarb, @WillProchaska, the invitation is open.

My prediction is that there will be no acceptance. I’d genuinely like you to prove me wrong.

Because this debate is too important for British racing, consumers and public policy to remain a conversation in which one side largely talks to itself.

Over to you.

@theposh Not sure I’ve come across a club statement that badly written. Can’t even use basic punctuation correctly

@BristolCity @fever_uk No pace and little creativity. This could be a turgid evening

Funny how immigration becomes “sacrifice, hard work and contribution” when Zia Yusuf is talking about his own parents but becomes something sinister when he’s talking about a Somali woman who came as a refugee and turned her life around by literally doing public service.

@BristolCity I swear we got given 1700 and weren’t far off selling out on the website?

@BristolCity Early days and all that but how on earth has he left Greenwood on. Do his eyes not work?

@JJBS35 Heard anything about ins?

BRISTOL CITY SCORE LATE AT BIRMINGHAM https://t.co/OFQ3Yl1Ntp

[Anthony Joseph @AnthonyRJoseph]

Bristol City are in advanced talks with a wealthy businessman over a potentially huge investment in the club.

Owner Steve Lansdown has always been open if the correct bid arrived and is close to an agreement that would see him give up a significant amount of his shares.

@SkySportsNews understands the unnamed potential investor, who owns a betting firm, was close to completing a deal earlier this year but it fell through.

@RoadCheltenham Can’t wait to see him sleuce up round Cartmel

[Seth @bcfcspud]

@bbcbristolsport Are there any plans to try and add more pace to the squad, particularly in the forward/full back areas? Seems we have lots of good technicians but not much pace and power in behind the striker. Likewise at FB, we seem light on pace needed to get forward and provide width

[Jonathan Pie @JonathanPieNews]

This is the most Nigel Farage thing Nigel Farage has ever done. Stand down in the safest seat Reform holds, then stand again so he can win it back and say: “See? 20,000 people voted for me, so we can all forget about my dodgy billionaire mate.”

He is such a fucking drama queen.
