@JimAllister We will all be better off when mercury fillings are banned. The health problems from old fillings leaching contents into body are widely reported.
@timmckane@SJAMcBride@BBCNolan@JimAllister I think you will find the BBC is responsible for all content they produce and air. It is a derogation of that responsibility to say any journo has a free rain to do what they want.
@irish_news Pat is not being asked to apologise just to condemn the bomb that killed the nurse. That is what any other nurse should do. She was an innocent victim and deserves the support of Pat. To not condemn the bomb will lose her votes in the election.
The Gambling Commission is investigating “many” other individuals who bet on the July election, I understand, in a widening scandal that is undermining Rishi Sunak’s general election campaign.
After the Tory candidate and ex PPS to Sunak, Craig Williams, placed a £100 bet on a July election, the booking giant Entain, owner of Ladbrokes and Corals, notified the Commission.
Entain made the disclosure to the Commission because Williams as an MP (before parliament was dissolved) was classified as a Politically Exposed Person in relevant law.
The Commission then wrote to all the gambling companies requesting details of any individual who had bet £20 or more on that July election within days of the PM calling it on 22 May.
This initial trawl yielded what industry sources say were “many names” and since then the Commission has been combing through the internet and social media to establish who they are and whether they have links to the Conservative Party or government.
“It is a tried and trusted investigatory process” said a source. “It is pretty straightforward to work out who might have had access to privileged information about the timing of the election and to identify their mates”.
According to a source, the Commission has identified persons of interest in addition to the Tory officials Tony Lee and Nick Mason, who have taken leave of absence from their jobs with the party, and the candidates Williams and Laura Saunders, who continue to campaign as official Tory candidates.
A police officer who was part of Sunak’s protection team has been suspended and arrested following the Commission’s investigation.
“The PM seemingly hopes the scandal will just die down” said a source. “That looks naïve at best”.
@irish_news@brendanbelfast Difficulty is if Taylor Swift played in the new Casement Park then the GAA would take the profit.
If the public pay for the stadium then the public should get any profit from venue. The feeling is by those that are not GAA is that the GAA are being greedy and unfair.
