Gordon Brown calls for gambling tax to cut child poverty

Former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown advocates for raising taxes on online gambling to combat child poverty, a move supported by a think tank report from the IPPR. Brown's proposal aims to generate £3.2bn to address issues like food insecurity and the two-child limit. The Betting and Gaming Council opposes the idea, warning of potential repercussions on the economy and pushing gamblers towards the unregulated black market.
